Winter in Scotland is a wonderful time of year – from Hogmanay to the fire festivals, it’s a time for communities to come together and help each other through the colder, darker months. And so it seemed like the right time of year to bring you our clans special, which is all about connecting people, wherever they are in the world.
In Clan seats, our resident genealogist takes us on a tour of some of the most remarkable clan castles across Scotland – if you’re looking for a new year’s resolution, visiting your clan’s castle is not a bad place to start.
Elsewhere this issue, we explore the rather under-visited but incredibly beautiful East Highlands, our editor takes a trip to Kilchoan, the most westerly village in mainland Britain, and we continue our thrilling Kings & Queens series with the beginnings of Scotland’s most famous royal family, the Stewarts.
Plus, you could be in with a chance of winning a stay on a remote Scottish island with WildLuing.
