Places to see in ( Alloa - UK )
Alloa is a town in Clackmannanshire in the Central Lowlands of Scotland, on the north bank of the Firth of Forth close to the foot of the Ochil Hills 5.5 miles east of Stirling and 7.9 miles north of Falkirk. The town, formerly a burgh of barony, is the administrative centre of Clackmannanshire council. The economy relied heavily on trade through its port with mainland Europe, but competition from modern ports saw it close in 1970. The economy is now centred on retail and leisure after the closure of major industries; only one brewer and one glassmaker survive today. Alloa had a population of 18,989 at the 2001 census.
Alloa was long associated with the brewing industry, with at least nine major breweries producing ales at its height. However industrial decline during the late 20th century has led to the economy relying more on retail and leisure. The first brewing firms in the town were Younger in 1762 and Meiklejohn in 1784. Alloa ale was sent to London and George Younger had an extensive export trade to the West Indies, Egypt and the Far East. Alloa was also home to Alloa Brewery Co, developing Graham’s Golden Lager in 1927 which was renamed Skol in the 1950s.
Alloa is linked to the historic Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders housed at Stirling Castle. Many of the soldiers in WW2 fought under Montgomery at the Battle of El Alamein and Wadi Akrit where their commanding officer Lorne Campbell won a V.C. They were part of the 7th Argylls under the 51st Highland Division.
Alloa's most famous landmark is the 15th century Alloa Tower (National Trust for Scotland), the surviving part of the ancestral medieval residence of the Erskine family, the Earls of Mar. Despite extensive alterations both externally and internally, the Tower retains its original medieval wooden roof and battlements, as well as some internal features. It is one of the largest and earliest of Scottish tower houses.
The town formerly contained a large number of 17th and 18th century buildings, but most were cleared away as 'slums' in the 18th to 19th century. However, Alloa does retain some historic architecture in the form of Alloa Tower, Tobias Bauchop's House (1695),[20] Inglewood House, Gean House and Greenfield House.
Alloa Town Hall and Library was designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse and built in 1886-9 at a cost of £18,008. Alloa War Memorial (1925) is by Sir Robert Lorimer with sculpture by Pilkington Jackson. After the closure of the Stirling-Alloa-Dunfermline line in 1968 and the Devon Valley Railway in 1973, rail links to the town did not exist for 40 years up until 2008. The Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link project.

Places to see in ( Montrose - UK )
Montrose is a coastal resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. Montrose is situated 38 miles north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. Montrose is the northernmost coastal town in Angus and developed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and cured salmon in medieval times.
The skyline of Montrose is dominated by the 220-foot (67 m) steeple of Old and St Andrew's Church, designed by James Gillespie Graham and built between 1832 and 1834. Montrose is a town with a wealth of architecture, and is a centre for international trade. It is an important commercial port for the thriving oil and gas industry.
Montrose is known for its wide thoroughfare and high street which leads to picturesque closes containing secluded gardens. The town has a view of a 2 mi (3 km) square tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin, which is considered a nature reserve of international importance. Montrose is the largest inland salt water basin in the UK, and an important habitat for the mute swan. Just outside Montrose is the 18th-century House of Dun, designed by the Scottish architect William Adam and built in 1730 for David Erskine, 13th Laird of Dun.
Montrose occupies a position on the North Bank of Montrose Basin at the mouth of the River South Esk on the East Coast of Scotland, The expanse of the town extends to the villages on its fringes; Hillside and Ferryden. It lies close to the hamlets of Lunan and St Cyrus. The rural location ensures that the air quality is good, with low levels of nitrogen dioxide and PM10.
The Montrose Basin is a shallow estuary approximately three miles in diameter. Montrose is situated where the River South Esk meets the North Sea. During the 16th century, local landowners desiring more arable land considered reducing its size, but their plans were never carried out.
The 3-mile-long (4.8 km) sandy Montrose Beach has been awarded a Blue Flag for its eco credentials. The surrounding Traill Pavilion and Seafront Splash! facilities with an arcade, a playground, a café and an ice-cream stall is popular amongst locals and visitors alike. North of the town the River North Esk enters the North Sea across the Montrose Beach .

Vlog 1 | #OneDay In London with Virgin Atlantic
Ever had a really long layover? This happened to me and my siblings a couple of years ago on our trip to Thailand. Our flight from Phuket to Bangkok resulted in us having to endure a 20 hour layover in Bangkok before heading back to Johannesburg. After napping on the uncomfortable airport chairs and waking up to people eating crisps over our heads, e decided that a Sunday in the airport would not suffice so we jumped on the train and headed to Bangkok city.
Post the trauma of waking up and finding a stranger’s bum right next to my head, I swore that I would never ever experience a layover like that again and that if I can’t fly direct, layovers could only be endured under the following conditions:
• Layover is a maximum of 2 hours
• An epic itinerary is actioned for layovers longer that 12 hours
• Adele is performing live
Failing all the above and inspired by my trip to London with Virgin Atlantic, I added another layover condition… I need to have access to the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse… Which means I need to grind and fly first class all the time.
On the 23rd of February I flew to London for #OneDay and then some with Virgin Atlantic for and epic trip filled to the brim. From a bus tour, to Buckingham Palace, to lunch at Burger & Lobster and breakfast Cereal Killer Cafe, to Harrods, private capsules at The London Eye, coffee with Andy Jordan from Made In Chelsea, drinks at The W Hotel, and The Brit Awards… I can’t believe how much we filled into those hours.
Besides layovers, why else would someone end up in a city for 24 hours or so? Imagine your favourite artist, let’s say Beyonce or Adele is on a world tour, but your country isn’t part of the world for them. Lol. Imagine you can’t take 10 days off work, but you are a super fan so you buy a ticket and find yourself with an awkward amount of hours to kill before the show… Don’t sit around in a lounge (unless it’s the Virgin Clubhouse) or hangout at the hotel. Get out, do things, #ONEDAY is all you need to make the best memories.
