It was great thanks @VisitScotlandLiam good start to the festival season! I’m at Oban Live this weekend, Argyll’s largest music festival and then HebCelt on Lewis in July, can’t wait for that one! How about you?
So I recently went to Knockengorrach World Celeidh Festival in Galloway in search of a weekend of Trad music and wasn’t disappointed!
Just off the Galloway Coastal Route, a stunning drive through the south west of Scotland, this festival brought t…
Great thread Laura! Love Skerryvore too, always put on a great show whenever I have seen them!
Heading to Knockengorroch World Ceilidh this weekend and can’t wait! Line up looks amazing and the forecast (I don’t want to say it too loud and scare i…
I don’t think I could choose one place in Scotland as a favourite, but wholeheartedly agreed with Rough Guides announcement when I heard it!
I love Argyll, where I live and work! It has such a varied landscape, from mountains to big sandy beaches.…
I would also love to see some whales this year, I’ve read that Orkney and Shetland are often frequented by orcas and the seas off the western coast of Mull and Harris are good spots for whale watching! Good luck with the search
@FullStopNextChapter I’m also loving seeing the days stretching now, so good to have a little more time during the day to achieve things!
Mull is one of my favourite spots to visit, I do a lot of work with the white tail eagles there and love all t…
@DMWScotland I’ve always wanted to go to Arran, pretty bad that I havent when I can see it from my town! Your photos are lovely, I may have to look at doing that walk this year when it gets a little warmer
@MoF now that is a well placed window what a view! There is a foot passenger ferry during the summer months that runs from Tayvallich, I cycled there and took the bike with me for my trip, very reasonably priced and a fast trip
@Horizons thank you very much, I’m glad you like them! That’s a very difficult question for me to answer, I have many favourite places for different reasons! I loved Harris, a truly stunning place that I’ll head back to this year, and some of my mos…
@Horizons I’ll have to agree with you on that one, Arisaig is stunning and such a beautiful drive to get there! It’s a very peaceful corner of Scotland! Love your photo too! I would love to get back to Harris as well, it’s a hauntingly beautiful pla…
@MoF aw amazing! I would love to go to Islay! It’s just across the water from where I stay but I haven’t made it yet! I did go to Jura once but must admit it was for a birthday and after the distillery’s I don’t really remember much hehe! Though a t…
@Suleskerry thank you, I'm glad you liked reading about it! I did hear how the castle used to be a hostel, would have been a cool experience to stay in it, loved all the artwork and pieces in it! They have definitely made a big effort to improve the…
So I made it back from the Isle of Rum before a pretty big storm arrived, and all I can say is wow! What a beautiful Island! There is so much to see and do I am glad I was there for more than a day!
I was particularly excited about visiting Rum, th…
@johnmurrayjnrmany thanks for your response! I didn't make it to the shipwreck unfortunately as the weather made it difficult but I appreciate your suggestion, hopefully when I make it back i'll get to that area and you are brave to have a swim the…
@Edinburghlover thank you :-) yeah one thing Scotland is renowned for is the sudden change of weather, but it just adds to the dramatic scenery! Hope you do manage that trip sometime soon
