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.

Scotland: Borders, Midlothian and Edinburgh
With a history that predates the written record, covered in ruins from another time, and decorated with more modern castles and estates, Scotland is a land fit for fairytales. It's beautiful and enchanting. This is particularly true of the country's South East, the regions of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders that sit between Edinburgh and the border with England.
This film lovingly captures the allure South East Scotland has on the imagination -- emerald hills flanking stone fortresses, mist-filled forests crisscrossed with ancient trails ready for exploring. It doesn't seem real, but here's the thing: Scotland and its mountains, castles, and villages are very much real and easy to visit. Check out the video above and start planning your dream trip to Scotland.

Old Photographs Dalkeith Midlothian Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dalkeith, Scottish Gaelic: Dail Cheith, a town in Midlothian. The town is split into four distinct areas: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historic core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the well heeled district of Dalkeith with many large Victorian and newer houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a working class council estate. Dalkeith is the main administrative centre for Midlothian. It is twinned with Jarnac, France. One of the earliest historical references to Dalkeith is found in the Chronicles of Jean Froissart who stayed at Dalkeith Castle for fifteen days. He wrote of the Battle of Otterburn and the death of James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas. In 1650, Oliver Cromwell's army came to Dalkeith. His officer General George Monck, was Commander in Scotland, and the government of the country was based out of Dalkeith castle. In the 17th century, Dalkeith had one of Scotland's largest markets in its exceptionally broad High Street. In 1831, Dalkeith was linked to Edinburgh by a railway line that transported coal, minerals, and agricultural produce. St David's Church in Dalkeith. is a Roman Catholic Parish church founded in 1854 by Lady Cecil, the wife of John Kerr, 7th Marquess of Lothian and daughter of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot. After she converted to Catholicism, Lady Cecil of Lothian decided to build a church for the local Catholic population. Joseph Hansom was the church architect and building started in 1853. On 21 May 1854, the church opened and a Father Mackay was the first parish priest. In 1858, he was replaced by a Father J. S. McCorry. In 1860, Lady Cecil invited the Society of Jesus to serve the parish. In 1944, the Jesuits left the parish and handed over administration of the church to the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh who continue to serve the congregation. Robert Smith, born 1722, died February 11, 1777, he was a Scottish born American architect who was based in Philadelphia. Smith's work includes buildings such as Carpenters' Hall, St. Peter's Church, and the steeple on Christ Church. These structures constituted the greater part of the city's early skyline. Other works include Nassau Hall at Princeton University and the Public Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia. He was born in Dalkeith Parish, Midlothian, into a family that included many masons. As a young man he apprenticed in the building trades, and emigrated to America, either directly from Scotland or via London, England, it is unknown, in late 1748.
Arniston House tour

Stargate Edinburgh City Tour
The Stargate Edinburgh Tour DOESN'T talk about Greyfriars Bobby or David Hume or all the other kinds of tourist ideas to be found abundantly on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Instead we go into the other side of Edinburgh, the International Illuminati capital, its very ancient history, its connection to the Lord of the Rings, Scottish rite, the ancient Greys and their presence in and around Edinburgh and we get to see what ancient alliances the establishment has commemorated in plain view for those who would wish to see it.
Ancient mysteries, Anunnaki Dynasties, Atlantis, iLLuMiNaTi, faeries, greys, abductions, Arthur, Merlin - an ancient underground - deeper than Mary Kings Close and information not presented elsewhere - Edinburgh has a Very alien component to it.
The Stargate Edinburgh Tour also has a Lothians excursion to places like the starbase out at Gorebridge. So much footage has been taken of Gorebridge alien activity that it is an international paradox how it is all so unreported !
Free ebooks and other briefing information on Stargate Edinburgh can be found at and of course there are links to lots of footage on the Outshore and other channels. e.g. and also
The music for this advert is a track called Battle Hymn which I composed for a Solan Theatre Company show called Children of the Flame in 1985 and is played on the Clarsach by Ishbel Maltman.
