Featured Destinations

Scottish Highlands

Scottish Highlands

As well as being a wonderful holiday destination the Highlands are home to a quarter of a million people living in communities spread throughout the area. From the vibrant city of Inverness to remote crofting communities and sparsely populated islands. What these communities do have in common and something that is particularly apparent to visitors is that they are all part of an area which is culturally distinct - influenced by our often violent history, a strong cultural heritage, and the gaelic language. The natural world is also different - the varied climate leads to a wide range of habitats and the relatively sparse population makes this the premier area in Britain, if not Europe for wildlife.
Bristol

Attractions include Bristol's 13th century Cathedral, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Zoo, the SS Great Britain, and Harvey’s, famed for its wine museum and the sherry which bears the city’s name throughout the world. Bristol has some wonderful suburbs, ranging from stylish Clifton Village to the decidedly trendy quarters surrounding the city center. Blaise Hamlet, a collection of 18th century cottages, the Royal York Crescent, Quakers Friars and the New Room, the site on which John Wesley, founder of Methodism preached, are well worth visiting with the Lord Mayor’s Chapel and Cabot Tower. Bristol’s nightlife is something special, and with 2 major universities, Bristol offers affordable, off-beat entertainment.

The city has numerous parks and ornamental open spaces, including the Botanic Garden and zoological gardens. Glasgow grew around a church built in the 6th century by St Kentigern, who converted Scots to Christianity.
