Nicola Sturgeon shows off her ice skating skills while campaigning in Aberdeen
Nicola Sturgeon got her skates on as she visited Aberdeen's Christmas market on the election campaign trail. The SNP leader was joined on the ice by Scottish Finance Secretary Derek Mackay and the party's Aberdeen North candidate Kirsty Blackman. The visit was the first on her tour of the north east, as she urges voters to unite around the SNP to stop Boris Johnson re-entering Number 10, and to prevent Brexit. Her later engagements involved taking part in a traditional music workshop with Aberdeenshire West and Kincardineshire candidate Fergus Mutch , and a Christmas arts and crafts class with children and Gordon candidate Richard Thompson. Meanwhile, Scottish Conservative leader Jackson Carlaw was in Moray campaigning with Tory candidate Douglas Ross . Carlaw called on voters to lend votes to his party, regardless of their voting history, to stop Nicola Sturgeon and her second divisive independence referendum. Posting online, he added: There are just 5 days left to save the union. Another referendum would be more divisive, more brutal and more corrosive than last time. Independence was also on the agenda as Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie visited a farmers' market in St Andrews, Fife. He said: Across the country we are finding people who are willing to lend their vote to the Liberal Democrats to stop another independence referendum. You don't have to love every single Liberal Democrat policy, you just have to be among the majority of Scots who look at the prospect of another referendum next year and say no thanks. Campaigning in Glasgow , Scottish Labour leader . He was canvassing with Glasgow South West candidate Matt Kerr, who lost the seat in the 2017 General Election by just 60 votes to the SNP's Chris Stephens. Leonard tweeted: We are going to turn it red on Thursday and deliver a majority Labour government. In Glasgow on Saturday evening, Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell is to speak at a Rally for Real Change. Elsewhere, Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie joined Linlithgow and East Falkirk candidate Gillian Mackay for a demonstration outside Ineos in Grangemouth, and urged voters to back his party on Thursday for climate action. The party wants imports of fracked gas at the site to stop, arguing that since fracking has been ruled out in Scotland it should not instead enable the controversial gas extraction technique.

SCOTLAND - INVERNESS - Loch Ness Monster & Castles! | Beautycreep
I would definitely recommend Jacobite Cruises for a tour of Loch Ness, check them out here! We did the Inspiration Tour -
The Royal Highland Hotel was nice and ideal to stay for a couple of nights. We managed to find a Groupon deal, so it was £79 for 2 nights + breakfast for 2 people, worth checking Groupon before booking! -
Urquhart Castle was very interesting, and worth a visit if in Inverness! -
I found the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre quite entertaining, worth a visit also! -
I loved Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, great for learning all about the heritage of the Highlands -
Fort George was really impressive, huge and very interesting! -

Today's video is the Scottish reaction to Irn-Bru - the original and old recipe. I was with fellow Scottish vlogger Mosco aka WeeScottish Lass in Edinburgh as we asked people on the street if they'd be able to tell the difference between the two. Irn Bru says 9 out of 10 people can't tell the difference, where as our experiment showed it was more like 50/50.

National Cycle Network Route 7 Scottish Highlands Blair Atholl Drumochter Dalwhinnie Newtonmore
Part of a series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery.
Blair Atholl to Newtonmore over Drumochter summit - about 35 miles each way, 70 miles round trip.
Although it’s the summit of Lochs and Glens North (and the highest point on the UK rail network) – the ascent of 320m from Blair Atholl is only a wee bit more than the climb up from Aberfoyle on the Drymen Callander stage and its nothing like as steep . That stage – Drymen -Callander also has twice as much total climbing. So the gradient on this stage is really no problem.
So the heights - Blair Atholl – 133m, Drumochter Summit – 457m, Newtonmore 246m.
Starting at Blair Atholl, we’re on the old A9 that we joined at Pitlochry. After 5 miles we reach Calvine where that big ’Are you really sure’ warning sign is. That’s where the path starts and from then you are traffic-free for 18 miles on a mixture of wide old A9 complete with cats eyes and narrower cycle track. The route stays close to the Railway and the River Garry on the left and the ‘new’ A9 on the right most of the way up to Drumochter. That new A9 is sometimes uncomfortably close. The cycle track is sometimes nothing more than a pavement at the side of the thunderingly busy A9, sometimes without even a wire rope crash barrier.
At Drumochter the River Garry takes a left into Loch Garry and the River Truim begins as it heads north towards the Spey. The traffic-free part of the path ends at Dalwhinnie and then its one of general Wade’s military roads to Newtonmore. This is a really nice section and although not all traffic-free its very quiet with very good visibility. There’s a surprise uphill a couple of miles along it …. No big deal – it’s just a surprise after all the downhill from Drumochter. There are old milestones on the military road that count you down into Newtonmore – and that’s about the only distance signage I noticed northbound which is a pity given this is such a long and isolated route. There is an additional traffic free section for a couple of miles as you get closer to Newtonmore.
Surface quality – generally good, but some of the tarmac is a bit crumbly and there is some lumpy gravel in places too – Road bike just about OK, but be careful.
Watch out for the wind – it can be pretty windy this high up. Although strong, It was fairly kind to me on the day – a North Easterly combined with the bend in the route meant that I generally had it with me when going uphill and against when going down – a good result. Although, when I set my camera up on a tripod to get a ride-by shot between Newtonmore and Dalwhinnie, the wind blew it over.
Cycled with a Specialized Tricross with 32c Marathon Plus tyres.

Scotland.
Scotland’s towns, villages, cities, iconic attractions and stunning landscapes are as varied and as diverse as they come, so no matter where you end up you’ll be blown away by the breathtaking setting around you.
In the Highlands, one of the most famous and iconic landscapes is Glen Coe. Well-known across the globe for its features in big blockbuster movies, such as Braveheart and Highlander, its landscape is made up of swooping glens, towering mountains and an atmosphere that will leave you in awe. Nearby, the scenic Loch Leven is a perfect location for picturesque walks and exploring. Making an appearance in the Harry Potter films, the Glenfinnan Viaduct is an easily recognisable attraction, located in the incredible setting of Loch Shiel on the west coast. Take a trip on the Jacobite Steam Train and venture across the viaduct for a unique and memorable day out. Probably the most photographed castle in Scotland, Eilean Donan Castle near Dornie is a famous Scottish icon and once you set eyes on it, it’s easy to see why.
In the east, Dunnottar Castle is an incredible fortress perched on the Aberdeenshire coastline that is must-see when in the area and is home to many rich secrets of Scotland’s colourful past. Further south, head to the newly-opened and world-renowned V&A Dundee. This museum hosts incredible exhibitions of art and design from throughout the years and is Scotland’s first design museum and the only V&A museum in the world outside London.
Edinburgh & The Lothians has bundles to offer too. Connecting Edinburgh and Fife, the Forth Road Bridge in South Queensferry is one of the most iconic man-made structures in Scotland that dates back to the 19th century. Take a stroll across the bridge and marvel at the views out to sea. Edinburgh is bursting at the seams with attractions, famous locations, historic museums and more. Edinburgh Castle, Scott Monument, National Museum of Scotland, Royal Mile, Calton Hill and Princes Street Gardens are just a few of the places to visit. Just outside of the city, Rosslyn Chapel is nestled in the heart of Midlothian and boasts unique and mysterious carvings, tales of age-old myths and legends, and stunning grounds to explore.
Due south from Edinburgh, Dumfries & Galloway is home to the peculiar triangle-shaped Caerlaverock Castle. This medieval fortress features a moat, twin-towered gatehouse and imposing battlements, giving it a real ancient feel and atmosphere.
The Borders Railway encapsulates the enchanting regions of Edinburgh, Midlothian and the Scottish Borders alongside the rich history, landscapes, outdoor activities and more that these areas boast. Starting in Edinburgh Waverley, the train stops at various locations including Brunstane, Shawfair, Eskbank and Gorebridge before terminating in Tweedbank.
Glasgow, Scotland’s biggest city, offers the liveliness of city life, alongside striking architecture, fascinating museums, bustling streets and more. Explore the Riverside Museum, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, People’s Palace and more to get a real feel of what the city is all about. North west of Glasgow in Argyll, the romantic Inveraray Castle on the shores of Loch Fyne is one of Scotland’s finest stately homes that has complimented the surrounding landscape since the early 15th century.
Explore the traditional and cultural side of Scotland on our incredible islands. In the Outer Hebrides the Hebridean Way from Vatersay in the south to the Isle of Lewis in the north is not to be missed. It’s a wonderful way to explore the islands either by bike on the 185-mile cycle network or on the long distance 156-mile walking route. On the Isle of Lewis, the popular Calanais Standing Stones are 5,000 years old with a visitor centre that guides you through the ages and tells the story of this world-famous attraction. Nearby on the Isle of Harris, Seilebost Beach will make you think you are somewhere in the Caribbean. With crystal clear waters, golden sandy beaches, and crisp sea air, the scenery will really take your breath away.
Further north, Orkney is another fascinating collection of Scottish islands. Visit the Neolithic site of Skara Brae and learn about the prehistoric settlement that was once found here and delve into what life was like on the islands some 5,000 years ago.
