Previous issue: Last chance to buy Issue 112
Firstly we want to warmly welcome the readers of The Highlander and Scottish Life, as well as Scotland Magazine, following the merger of these three fine magazines into a single, stronger title – Scotland.
Each issue that follows will contain the very best features and writers from your previous magazine, and we will continue to showcase all that makes us so proud of our Scottish heritage. We’ll bring you the finest writing on Scottish history, ancestry, traditions and travel, all illustrated with inspirational photography.
I am sure you will recognise many familiar names among our writing team, including James Gracie, who reveals the double life of the chief of Clan MacDonell of Glengarry in In a Pickle, and our Master of Malt, John Lamond, who explains what a change in climate means for our whisky distillers in For Peat’s Sake.
Then in Skye’s the Prize, we follow in the footsteps of Clan MacLeod and Clan MacDonald of Sleat to bring you tales that will make your hair stand on end.
From now on you can expect even more clan news, secret histories and features that will help you research your family tree. Please do keep in touch, we love to hear what you’ve all been up to.
