    The Tiree Music Festival (15-17 July) puts on children's entertainment and their family campsite is right next to the beach so perfect for some pre-breakfast sandcastle building :)

    The Callander & Trossachs Summerfest is back for a third year from 16th - 31st July with a jam packed programme with exhibitions, outdoor and active fun, music and films and arts and crafts. There is sure to be something to suit everyone.  :) 

    Just last week while wandering through Ancaster Square in Callander I came across these knitted bollard covers. This is part of the run up to Summerfest where local crafters and artists showcase their talents and decorate the town centre square in preparation for 'Ancaster Square - Art Day'. 

    A knitted minion!   :D :)

    @VisitScotlandHeather @VisitScotlandLyndsay ;A new festival held for the first time this year (mainly for kids, but big kids were welcome too), was the Fairy Tale Festival held in the lovely setting of The Haining Estate in Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.

    Fairy tales old and new were brought to life by the Border Youth Theatre. Children attending the festival dressed as their favourite fairytale characters and enjoyed story-telling and puppet shows amongst other activities on the festival programme. A novel idea for a festival!
