New issue: Issue 119 is now on sale
After being kept away from Scotland for too long, this issue our editor reveals all on her recent travels. First up, she heads to one of her favourite cities, Glasgow, which is filled with more heritage attractions than you might realise, and is also the launchpad for many a Scottish trip. Next up, she explores Mount Stuart, one of the most outrageous stately homes in Scotland.
Elsewhere, ahead of the release of Series 6 of Outlander, our excellent writer Robin McKelvie details how you can have your own adventure in some of the show’s key locations. And this issue, Scottish traditions are also high on our agenda, from advice on how to host the perfect Burns Supper, to a scheme created to help preserve the at-risk craft of kiltmaking.
Enjoy!
