Jacobite Stories for Outlander Fans - We recently posted pictures on our Facebook page of our visit to Boleskin Graveyard. The history of this graveyard, with its gravestone pock-marked by musket balls fired by Redcoat soldiers some 280 years ago, has caught People's imagination. So, this is a blog about places in Scotland with interesting and tangible links to the 1745 Rebellion.
Highlights of 2024 - The frantic work to get the guides updated for 2025 is all but finished, and the Christmas decorations are back in the attic. So, we’ve got a little bit of breathing space to reflect on 2024, and choose our favourite bits. As always, we each nominate different places and seldom agree on a singular winner for any category. So this is not a “Best of Scotland” list, it’s just a list of lots of good stuff from our last year of touring Scotland.
