Winter Events and Festivals in Scotland

November 21, 2018 By Ron Leave a Comment

Winter is as good a time as any to Visit Scotland. You might not get the endless long days of spring and summer but it's just as beautiful and heartwarming. And there is an advantage of visiting Scotland in the winter, accommodations are usually cheaper, there is lots going on in the cities and towns around Christmas and Hogmanay and it's generally a great time to be here.

Arctic Convoys in Edinburgh Exhibition

May 28, 2013 By Ron Leave a Comment

I'm always keen to read about the Arctic Convoys that sailed from the North of Scotland to Russia to deliver supplies to the Soviet Union during WWII, from August 1941 to May 1945 to be precise. My fascination has grown over the years due to the many times I've visited the very area and loch where they sailed from, Loch Ewe in Wester Ross.
