Our March/April issue is here! Join us for our islands special…
This issue we’ve been mostly dreaming of some of my favourite places on earth: the Scottish Isles. From Orkney to Skye to Lewis and Harris, we love each and every one of the places listed in our bucket-list of destinations, and you can start daydreaming about when you might visit them too by reading our Scottish Isles piece, illustrated with some stunning photographs to really set the scene (and steal your heart).
Speaking of a taste of island life, our editor visited the Shetland Islands to hear all about how produce once destined for faraway shores is finally being enjoyed in its island home, meaning both locals and their guests get to reap the benefits.
And when it comes to guests, one of the luckiest in all of Scottish history was surely General Eisenhower (later President), who was not only welcomed to Culzean Castle, in Ayrshire, but was given his own penthouse apartment there.
We are also continuing our series on Scottish kings and queens with the Renaissance Kings, James III, IV and V of Scotland, who all ruled through a period of great change, and to varying degrees of success…
Plus you could be in with a chance of winning a stay in a luxury sea-view hotel!
