Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

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.

Voyage Through Centuries of Culture, History & Untrammeled Wildness on a Circumnavigation of England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales
THE WILD ISLES VOYAGE THROUGH CENTURIES OF CULTURE, HISTORY & UNTRAMMELED WILDNESS ON A CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND & WALES ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER | 2017 TM CALLING ALL ROMANTICS This expedition ventures to remarkable locations in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. A few places are iconic and oft-visited, while most others are remote, existing in a state of grace—rarely visited due to the sheer difficulty of doing so, and immensely rewarding to discover. An itinerary of all high points—it’s one of the most original and interesting expeditions we offer. It even includes Fair Isle, one of the most remote settlements in the U.K., with its lyrical topography and small, photogenic population (red heads in Fair Isle sweaters!) — exhilaratingly off the beaten path. So whether you seek the tonic of nature and wildness as an antidote to civilization, or simply yearn for fresh sights and extraordinary vistas, join us for one of the most memorable travel experiences of your life. St. Magnus Cathedral of Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. ACTIVELY EXPLORE EXTRAORDINARY LOCALES & SEE AMAZING ARCHAEOLOGY Fingal’s Cave was on the itinerary of the German composer Felix Mendelssohn in the summer of 1829. On August 8, he and a friend sailed from Mull to Staffa. They’d seen the cave “in all the picture books,” but the real thing still had the power to amaze: “A greener roar of waves never rushed into a stranger cavern,” he wrote, “its many pillars making it look like the inside of an immense organ, black and resounding, absolutely without purpose, and quite alone, the wide gray sea within and without.” He was profoundly affected.

Welcome lunch/ceremony and orientation. Dinner as a group. Dalhousie Castle is considered Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle, with more than 700 years of history. Once the seat of the Ramsay Clan, this 4- star hotel has a guest list that included King Edward 1, Sir Walter Scott, Oliver Cromwell and Queen Victoria. There are 11 acres surrounding the castle to explore. If your schedule permits, you might want to arrive in Edinburgh a day early to get adjusted to the time change. Spend the day seeing Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood and more. Day 2: Saturday, June 18 Dalhousie Castle 1 We’ll begin our beautiful day meeting our Scottish expert, Kris Kinosis, to hear the history, legends and mysteries of Roslin Glen and Rosslyn Chapel. The chapel received international attention after being in the movie The “Da Vinci Code”. This uniquely beautiful chapel is connected to the Templars. We’ll have dinner in the small town of Roslin before returning to Rosslyn Chapel for a private evening there. Day 3: Sunday, June 19 Moness Resort, Aberfeldy 3 Today we’ll depart our castle home and travel to the center of Scotland to see the Fottingall Yew tree. This magnificent tree is thought to be the oldest living tree in Scotland, if not the world, and is between 3,000 and 9,000 years old! As the guardian of rebirth and resurrection, it is an ideal access to your ancestors and the spirit realms.
