SCOTLAND: NEW ATTRACTIONS IN
LEGENDARY LANDSCAPES
by Bob Barton
Visitors to Scotland will notice some changes this year. Don’t
worry, the majestic mountains and lochs of the Highlands are just as
breathtaking and wild as ever. Tartan, whisky and the words of
Robert Burns continue to be important cultural icons. But there are
some new features in the landscape that are likely to become ‘must
see’ attractions for years to come....
SCOTTISH PATH COULD
BE A NEW WAY TO SEE ‘NESSIE’
A new long-distance walking trail in the Scottish
Highlands follows a geological fault line – the Great Glen – which
cuts the country in two, from North Sea to Atlantic Ocean....
Tartan
by Nicola Wiseman
Imagine there is a new boy at school. Everybody wants to know where
he comes from and what his name is. But nobody dares to ask. How can
you find out?
The Scots, of course, did not have this problem - they would have
known by looking at the boy's tartan.....
SCOTLAND FOR
ISLAND-HOPPERS
by Bob Barton
In the space of a few invigorating days of Scottish island hopping,
I have walked into Fingal’s Cave; seen Iona Abbey, cradle of
Christianity in Scotland; gone pony-trekking and cycling along a
Hebridean coast; ridden the only steam train on a Scottish island
and sampled some lively Gaelic nightlife...
