A Tour of Jacobite Scotland

September 28, 2021 By Ron Leave a Comment

Culloden Battlefield

A chance to travel Scotland in the footsteps of the Jacobites The Jacobite wars, or Jacobite rising, were a lot more than kilted Highlanders rushing through the heather to fight the Redcoats. It was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart. It was a battle for the heart and soul of a nation. There was religious conflict, political intrigue, commercial ambition and old scores settled. If you want to visit the most important sites of the Jacobite rising why not do this tour, and where better to start than in Scotland’s … [Read more...] about A Tour of Jacobite Scotland

Dundrennan Abbey

August 18, 2019 By Ron 4 Comments

Dundrennan Abbey

The reorganisation of the Scottish Church, which started in the early 12th century, saw the setting up of many important abbeys, such as the Abbeys in the Scottish Borders. Dundrennan Abbey was one of them. Dundrennan Abbey was founded in 1142 for Cistercian monks, either by King David I, or by the great magnate of the area, Fergus Lord of Galloway. The first monks were brought from the Cistercian order's northern missionary house at Rievaulx in Yorkshire. The Abbey was home to a community of Cistercian monks for 400 years. This is the spot where Mary Queen of Scots sheltered during … [Read more...] about Dundrennan Abbey

Aberdeen to Banff Coastal Driving Tour

Slains Castle Coastal Route Aberdeenshire

The north eastern coastal area of Aberdeenshire is without a doubt one of Scotland's finest and is perfect for a coastal Driving Tour. We'll show you the highlights and have some interesting tips to share! This part of Scotland is somewhat more cultivated than the wilder west coast, perhaps a bit more charming, more inhabited and certainly less remote. You are never more than a 1.5 hour drive away from either Aberdeen or Inverness wherever you are at the north east coast. That doesn't make it a very busy area though as tourists easily spread out over the many pretty coastal villages and the … [Read more...] about Aberdeen to Banff Coastal Driving Tour

Scotland Holiday Discounts

November 6, 2017 By Ron Leave a Comment

There are plenty of reasons to go to Scotland outside the busy tourist season. Even quieter roads, dramatic winter scenery, Christmas atmosphere in the Scottish Cities and the possibility to see the Northern Lights are just a few reasons to visit Scotland this winter. If you decide to make the journey you're likely to add cheaper accommodation to that list as well. For the price of one week in the summer you can get 10 days or sometimes even two weeks in the winter! Of course you don't get the long summer nights with endless light but you will get a cheaper and just as pleasant holiday. If … [Read more...] about Scotland Holiday Discounts

Highlands 140 – A Great Highlands Driving Route

October 15, 2017 By Ron 6 Comments

I've driven most roads in Scotland, especially the scenic ones, and enjoyed almost every mile of all of them. I don't think there is such a thing as a boring road in Scotland, especially when you're outside urban areas. And no matter how beautiful some of these roads are, there are always a few that are just a tad more stunning, roads that stick in your mind as being "very special". One of them is the Road to the Isles and the other one is the drive through Glen Shiel. Both offer an unforgettable driving experience amidst some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer. Now what … [Read more...] about Highlands 140 – A Great Highlands Driving Route
