Scotland Shorts - Scotland's beautiful beaches
In Scotland, miles of crashing coastlines frame the land and pristine, shell-strewn beaches are one of our favourite places to explore. It’s time to reach for the bucket and spade, and come and taste the salty air. Which beautiful beach will you choose?
In south west Scotland, head to Sandyhills Bay for a day of paddling in the clear, shallow waters. While you’re in this beautiful part of Dumfries & Galloway, take a trip to the charming harbour town of Kippford or explore the woodland trails in Dalbeattie Forest.
The Isle of Harris is famed for its white sandy beaches and azure waters, and the award-winning Seilebost Beach is one of the very best, situated beside a tiny crofting village and overlooking Luskentyre.
Lying at the most westerly point in Mainland Britain, Sanna Bay on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula offers superb views across to the nearby isles of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna. Keep an eye out for dolphins and whales in the water.
Add together a freshwater loch, a sandy beach and a surrounding pine forest and you get… Loch Morlich! Near Aviemore, the loch is a truly unique place to unwind and there are plenty of watersports to try out.
Go land-yachting and admire the setting for the opening scenes of Chariots of Fire at West Sands Beach in St Andrews.

A WEEKEND ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN AUTUMN
Hi guys, last week I spent 3 days roaming around the Isle of Wight! Given it was early October, I was surprised how quiet it was...it's like a calm, picturesque slice of England in the Solent. I went to Ryde, visited the Needles and roamed around finding the best things to do on the island.
So if you fancy an Autumn staycation without the hustle and bustle of the mainland, hop across the Solent and enjoy the Isle Of Wight :)
Note - Cowes Week takes place in August. I was merely saying what Cowes is famous for.

Blown Away, By the North Coast 500 route, Scotland
The route that circles around Scotland’s top north highlands has always been there, but never got a name, until not so long ago. Now, known as the North Coast Route 500, this natural itinerary moved in the limelight, and was nicknamed Scotland’s Route 66.
This may sound daunting, but we have just been on a trip that strikes the perfect balance between planning and spontaneity, and is not to mention one of the most beautiful places we have ever encountered.
If you want to take it easy and spend time at every attraction, you’ll need 7 days and a cheap car rental, and that’s all it will take to experience a whole new world
Some great spot you’ll find along the road:
Day 1 Some spectacular sights, starting in the northernmost city in the UK, called Inverness. Bordered by rolling hills and castle ruins at Loch Ness, it’s as beautiful as it is mysterious.
Stop at the Dunrobin Castle is just as beautiful. Everything about it, the gardens, spires and turrets makes it look like a castle that comes straight out of a fairy-tale, while Disney looks dismal in comparison.
Just a short drive away is the Carn Liath, a prehistoric structure that takes you back to the iron age when it was originally built. Only 19 metres in diameter, it’s easy to get a real sense of the place and admire it in its entirety.
DAY 2: Brora to Thurso
Wake up early and do a little bit of exploring in Brora, known for its golden sandy beaches and array of sea life. Dolphins, Minke whales and seals are regular visitors.
Grey Cairns of Camster. These rare Neolithic stone tombs are definitely worth a visit. They hold immense historical value that were built over 5000 years ago, unveiling many secrets of that time.
Characterized by immense cliff stacks, this impressive path leads to the remote Duncansby Head lighthouse. Perched on the corner of a sheer drop.
Port Lybster is a fun stop over for who lover lighthouses.
DAY 3: Thurso to Durness
Scotland is scattered with hundreds of these historical ruins, of both enchanting castles and landhouses. Another one to look out for is Castle Varig, which is well worth a short hike up a neighbouring hill that offers the best viewpoint of the castle, and a nearby loch.
Secondly, an assortment of wildlife tours that take you to the perfect vantage points, where you can view the stunning local Puffins up close.
Durness: the best artisan chocolate in all of Scotland, at the Cocoa Mountain Café and Chocolatier, and when paired with one of their famous coffee blends, you may just want to stay here all day.
Smoo cave is truly exceptional, making it onto our list of top 5 experiences along the NC 500. It’s unique in that it’s formed by two caves, one fresh-water cave and one sea-water cave, linking together as one. The entrance has been formed by the action of the sea, whereas the inner chambers are freshwater passages, and if you dare enter the cave, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of a spectacular waterfall.
DAY 4: Durness to Ullapool
Achmelvich beach is by far the best place to chill, with its soft white sand and pristine clear blue waters that could easily match those of the Maldives (except for the temperature).
DAY 5: Ullapool to Torridon
Ullapool is a popular holiday destination for the Scots, and although it’s relatively big and touristy, it has its own unique charm that’s worth experiencing. When the crowds get too much, jump back into nature to see one of the natural wonders of the Highlands - Corrieshalloch Gorge.
DAY 6: Torridon to Strathpeffer
Torridon boasts some of the most picturesque landscapes we’ve had the pleasure of seeing with our own eyes, and the perfect finale to a memorable trip. Wake up early and let the sunlight reveal it to you.
Once you’ve had a chance to take it all in, head over to a peninsula called Applecross, made up of small-scale food producers. It’s relatively unknown to tourists and is home to a number of gems if you take the time to explore the community.
Then to end the roadtrip off on a high, take a turn onto the Bealach na Ba road, meaning “The Pass of the Cattle”. This is by far one of the most impressive roads in the UK, with remarkable views of , the whole of Skye, and the Islands of Rum and the Outer Hebrides while the road wind towards Strathpeffer.
DAY 7: Strathpeffer to Inverness
Waking up in Strathpeffer, knowing it’s your final day, can’t help but make one feel slightly heart sore. However, there’s nothing quite like a spa day to make you feel better, and it just so happens that that town is known for its Spas.

Mallaig; is a port in Lochaber, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. The local railway station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland railway line, completed in 1901, and the town is linked to Fort William by the A830 road – the Road to the Isles.
The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, owner of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels of land and encouraged his tenants to move to the western part of the peninsula and turn to fishing as a way of life. The population and local economy expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the railway. Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Bruce Watt Sea Cruises sail from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, and the isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and Canna. Mallaig is the main commercial fishing port on the West Coast of Scotland, and during the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe.
Mallaig prided itself at that time on its famous traditionally smoked kippers, but today only one traditional smokehouse remains, Jaffy's and Sons. Mallaig and the surrounding area is a popular area for holidays. The majority of the community speaks English, with a minority of residents speaking both English and Gaelic. In addition, traditional Gaelic is still taught in the school to pupils who choose to learn the language.
Mallaig has several restaurants, cafes, and takeaways along with a community-run swimming pool and leisure centre. The main focus is on the tourist trade during the summer, however some facilities are open all year round, including the swimming pool. Mallaig has three hotels, lots of self-catering accommodation and several guest houses.
There are two banks and three pubs. The compact village centre is close to the harbour and railway station, with residential areas beyond to the south and east of the harbour. Most of the retail premises are in the main street, or on Davies Brae, which runs south from the village centre. The swimming pool is at the high point of the village on Fank Brae.
There are two minimarkets, and gift shops. An art gallery sells work by local artists. There is a small bookshop A heritage centre next to the railway station is based around old photographs of the locality, but as Mallaig has only existed during the age of photography this offers a good introduction to the history and heritage of the locality. There are Roman Catholic and Church of Scotland churches, and also a Fishermen's Mission facility run by the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. There is a small petrol station with restricted opening times near the harbour.
The West Highland Line links Mallaig railway station by rail to Fort William, Oban and Glasgow. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009, ahead of the iconic Trans-Siberian and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru. The four-hour trip to Dumbarton Central railway station passes through spectacular scenery including seascapes, lochsides, mountain and moorland terrain, and offers views of Loch Lomond, the Gare Loch, Rannoch Moor, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan and Glen Shiel, and Loch Eil. The line also runs along the Clyde between Helensburgh and Glasgow and offers views across the estuary.
Mallaig is an important ferry port with regular Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, a thirty-minute sailing. They also run a daily service to the Small Isles of Canna, Rùm, Eigg and Muck, although the timetable and itinerary differ from day to day. Calmac also offers a non-landing ticket which allows visitors to cruise the Small Isles. In addition, a local ferry service owned by former lifeboatman Bruce Watt sails daily to Inverie in Knoydart, a very remote village, and also calls by prior arrangement at Tarbet in Morar, a location that is only accessible by sea. This service also offers a non-landing cruise through scenic Loch Nevis.
( Mallaig - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Mallaig . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Mallaig - UK

Jamaica Inn, Cornwall
In the heart of Bodmin Moor just off the A30 carriageway lies Jamaica Inn, a former coaching house now an inn. Jamaica Inn built in 1750, is famous for being a haven for smugglers and pirates that lured and wrecked ships off the north Cornish coast during the late 1700's and early 1800's, ships that carried cargoes of rum and brandy from Jamaica. The inn was an ideal hiding place to smuggle in the goods.
Jamaica Inn is widely reported to be haunted as the place has had a number of paranormal activities taking place such as ghost sightings and strange noises coming from guest rooms late at night. Even the owners of the inn make no secret of it, describing the inn as having resident ghosts, and as a place of paranormal activities of dark deeds done in the night.
Novelist Daphne du Maurier based her book of the same name at the inn published in 1936 and became an instant bestseller, the museum by the inn is dedicated to her and has a collection of smuggling artifacts that is depicted through the history of the Jamaica Inn and the inn's role in this trade for many years.
Jamaica Inn is an ideal place for everyone of all ages, whether your stopping off from a long journey or just visiting. Large ranges of home cooked meals are served at certain times.
Even staying at the inn is ideal with it's 20 en suite rooms (ghosts are optional!)
