At the start of 2018 Historic Environment Scotland will host several ‘Meet the Buyer’ events at the following regional locations: Edinburgh Longmore House – Monday 12th Feb Stirling Engine Shed – Tuesday 13th Feb Fort George, Inverness– Thursday 15th Feb Aberdour Castle, Fife – Tuesday 20th Feb These events will provide local businesses with the opportunity to speak directly with retail buyers. They will be able to pitch to have their products stocked at one of the following shops for the 2018 summer season: St Andrews Castle Linlithgow Dallas Dhu Fort George Melrose Project Brief: You will be invited to attend a ‘Meet the Buyer’ event, and pitch directly to the retail buying team. You will supply a product/range of products that will be sold in local shops in Scotland. The products should appeal to tourists or domestic visitors looking for a souvenir of either the local area or their visit to our sites.

If you’ll not be visiting enough of the properties included in the pass, however, it could end up costing you more than it’s worth. As with any aspect of planning the best possible Outlandish Scotland Journey, deciding whether or not to buy one of these passes requires a good deal of investigation. This PDF contains tips and directions designed to minimize the amount of time you’ll have to spend investigating the passes available. Plan Parts of Your Holiday Before Deciding Whether to Buy a Free Entry Pass 1 If you’ll be booking a guided Outlander tour, do that FIRST. [See our Outlander Tours PDF: http://www.outlandishscotland.com/OutlanderTours.pdf ] Admission fees for the Outlandish places you’ll be taken to are sometimes included in the guided tour fee, so you may not need a Free Entry Pass to visit them. 2 After successfully booking a guided tour—or, if you’ll not be booking one—make a list of the places you plan to visit during your self‐guided touring days. 3 Compare your self‐guided Outlandish site list to the properties included in the Free Entry Passes available. [On the last page of this PDF is a table that lists all of the Outlander‐related properties associated with each of the Scottish Free Entry Passes, with individual entry and pass fees.] 4 After performing a comparison, you should be able to determine which pass will save you enough money to be worthwhile.

  • You Can't Get There from Here
    You Can’t Get There From Here An Outlandish Extra PDF OutlandishScotland.com A Novel Holiday Travel Guidebook You Can’t Get There From Here An Outlandish Extra PDF Alas and alack, many of the places we’ve read about in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series of novels— places we’ve fallen deeply in love with—don’t exist in the real world. Though founded on impressively thorough and extensive research, these places were invented by a talented author. As such, they are fictional locations that you cannot visit. This PDF is a collection of the most beloved, fictional, Outlandish sites. Craigh na Dun Prehistoric stone circles—as well as many Neolithic and Bronze age cairns, standing stones, and the like—are found all over Scotland. Below are two of several websites solely dedicated to Scottish stone circles and cairns. http://www.stonepages.com/scotland/scotland.html http://www.stonesofwonder.com/ [Outlander Season 1 screenshot segments (enhanced)] Sadly, Craigh na Dun—the stone circle that transports Claire from 1945 to 1743—doesn’t exist in the real‐world. From the Outlander Episode 1 script: Frank: Apparently there’s a circle of standing stones on a hill just outside [Inverness], and there’s a local group who still observe rituals there. As it happens, a stone circle just east of Inverness is convenient to visit when Outlandering in Scotland and fits the dialogue above. Clava Cairns (Site #11) is only a 4 minute drive (a 34 minute walk) from Culloden Battlefield (Site #12). Unfortunately, the Clava Cairns site looks absolutely nothing like Diana’s Craigh na Dun description, or the Craigh na Dun seen on screen.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
