During my visit to the Cairngorms in May with the Scotlanders boys, it was great to be able to spend the morning at the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre. Our guide for the day was Hen and it was clear that she was passionate about working with the reindeer, having been there for over eight years by now.…
I was delighted to have the opportunity to spend the weekend in the Cairngorms National Park with the boys from the Scotlanders Neil Robertson and Dougie Baird. On Saturday morning we had an early start from Glasgow where we travelled to the Cairngorms. The drive alone up the A9 is one of the more scenic…
My experience with Scottish Whisky Having now lived in Scotland for nearly 10 years, I almost feel I can claim that a good Scottish Whisky is also my national drink! As May is now officially the Whisky Month and 2015 is the official ‘Year of Food and Drink’ by Visit Scotland, I thought it was…
After we departed the Isle of Arran, we made a quick stop over at Tarbert for lunch, while waiting for the connecting ferry to Portavadie Marina. I guess I still have the kid in me and every time we go aboard a ferry it’s an exciting ‘holiday’ feeling, so having two trips in a day…
I was really excited about our recent holiday which was back on the West Coast of Scotland. We had taken a week’s holiday, in fact a total of 9 days of exploring and road trips around the west coast. Our first part of the holiday was going through from Edinburgh across to Ardrossan to catch…
I am liking the new strapline for Dundee ‘One City, Many Discoveries’ Which is indeed the case. Myself and the Scotlanders group had been invited to visit Dundee by Jennie (Patter PR) and Tara (V&A Dundee) Gaynor (Dundee Waterfront Tourism). We started our morning with breakfast (I love any foods served with Black pudding) in…
I was pleased to visit Linlithgow, a first visit and I am delighted I made the visit. Many people see Linlithgow to only have the Palace and was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scot, but having visited I’ve learned there is a lot more to see and do, did you know that it has…
I was delighted to having spent yet another weekend in our amazing countryside and this weekend she really showed her true colours! We were at Loch Tay, the largest loch in Perthshire at about 15 miles long and 1 mile wide, at one end of the Loch you will find Killin, a wonderful little village with…
Firstly it’s the official ‘Year of Food & Drink’ and this alone should make you visit Scotland. It boosts many magnificent foods from local Seafood’s to beautiful distilled Single Malt Whisky’s. But there are many other reasons why Scotland makes the perfect destination both for City breaks, but also excursions in and around the Scottish…
‘Scotland in miniature’ A couple of years ago we were fortunate enough to visit the Isle of Arran on a number of occasions and we look forward to returning in 2015. You can arrive by ferry from Ardrossan to Brodick or Tarbert to Lochranza with CalMac http://www.calmac.co.uk/. When sailing from Ardrossan you will see this…
