San Andres Island, Colombia (HD)
Visit San Andres Island, Colombia - San Andres Island, Colombia Tourism & Vacation
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
San Andrés is one of the two principal islands of San Andrés and Providencia. It is located 200 Kilometres east of Nicaragua. San Andres and Providence belong to Colombia and are located in Colombian waters.
San Andrés is a tourist destination but not as slick and modern as others in the Caribbean. The island specializes in all-inclusive budget vacations that cater towards Colombian tourists. Outside of the downtown area there is a rural feeling, with small houses close to the main circle road, small sidewalks with some areas without any sidewalks at all, and many people hanging out on the streets, even at night. The people are extremely friendly and generally speaking the island is safe.
The sea surrounding the area is known by Colombians as the Mar de siete colores (seven-coloured sea), due to the variations of depth. To fully appreciate this, it is needed to go to the highest place in the island, around 70 meters high. Any locals will give directions to that precise spot, which is a normal stop for the island tours.
The neighboring island of Providencia, accessible by flights or a 2.5 hour boat journey, is less developed and more peaceful.
Get in
There are flights from Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Cartagena and Panama City, as well as charter flights from Canada (via Air Transat).
Colombian customs need to be cleared upon arrival to the island. Check with your local travel agency to see what documents you need to travel to Colombia. For many passengers, a tourist card has to be presented on arrival. Airlines flying to San Andrés sell them on the counter for the official price of 25 USD.
If arriving from outside Colombia, exchange currency at the airport, the rates are similar as downtown if not better. Any foreign exchange in Colombia is very formal and a passport is required and a big official receipt handed with the passport details on it, before returning local currency.
Do in San Andres Island, Colombia
=====================
The beaches are very nice. All are open to the public, but the hotels outside of the downtown area have direct access to a number of them.
Old Photographs Of Dunning Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dunning, Perthshire. Dunning is situated at the south east of Strathearn. St Serf's church in the centre of the village was rebuilt in the 19th century but the tower is early medieval, 2th century, with two light arched Anglo-Saxon windows like Muthill Church. Like so many Strathearn villages, Dunning was burnt after the Battle of Sheriffmuir by the retreating Jacobite army. However the village retains it's earlier pattern with later buildings, 18th and 19th century, gathered around the church. A standing stone outside the village is said to mark the site of the Battle of Duncrub in 964AD. A local woman, Maggie Wall, was burnt as a witch in 1657 and a monument commemorates this sad event. The original thorn tree was a wild hawthorn from Dunning Den, planted in April 1716 to mark the burning of the village on a cold Saturday evening in January 1716 by the Jacobites, only a few months earlier. Duncrub House is by Dunnning. On 26 August 1511, William Rollo of Duncrub received a charter that erected his lands into a free barony. He is believed to have died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513, along with his eldest son Robert. The estates were inherited by Andrew Rollo who consolidated his position by marrying his cousin, Marion, who was heir to David Rollo of Manmure. One of Andrew's younger sons, Peter, became Bishop of Dunkeld and a judge of the Court of Session. His grandson was Sir Andrew Rollo who was knighted by James VI of Scotland. The Clan Rollo were supporters of the king during the civil war. Their loyalty was rewarded by Charles II of Scotland who created Sir Andrew as Lord Rollo of Duncrub in January 1651 at Perth. However Lord Rollo was fined £1,000 by Oliver Cromwell who was in control of Scotland in 1654. Lord Rollo's fifth son was Sir William Rollo who was a gifted soldier, and a lieutenant of the royalist army leader James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose. He commanded the left wing of the royal army at the Battle of Aberdeen in 1644. He also followed Montrose in his famous forced march across mountainous terrain which surprised the forces of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquis of Argyll and led to Argyll's defeat at the Battle of Inverlochy in 1645. Rollo was later beheaded at Glasgow in October 1645 after being captured at the Battle of Philiphaugh where the royalists were defeated by the Covenanters. Despite the third Lord Rollo's support for the Prince of Orange, his son Robert Rollo, was a staunch Jacobite who attended the great hunt at Aboyne in August 1715, which was actually a secret council to plan the rising of that year. Robert Rollo fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir and surrendered, along with the Marquess of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon, to General Grant of the Clan Grant. He was imprisoned but later pardoned in 1717. Robert Rollo had seven children, and died peacefully at Duncrub in March 1758. Robert Rollo's eldest son, Andrew Rollo, 5th Lord Rollo was a professional soldier. During the War of the Austrian Succession he fought for the British at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. In 1758 the fifth Lord Rollo commanded the British 22nd Regiment of Foot. During the Seven Years' War in the Americas, he fought under General Murray in the last campaign which secured Canada for the British. In 1759 he captured the French Caribbean island of Dominica even though it was heavily fortified. In 1760 he was raised to the rank of brigadier general. He fought for two more years in the Caribbean. During this time both Barbados and Martinique fell to the British. However, his health was severely affected by the climate, and he returned to England in 1762 and died at Leicester, England, in 1765. The seventh Lord Rollo fought with distinction at the siege of Pondicherry in India where he commanded a force of marines. John, eighth Lord Rollo, was an officer in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards which is today the Scots Guards. The eighth Lord fought on the Continent between 1793 and 1795. The present Chief: David Eric Howard Rollo, The 14th Lord Rollo of Duncrub, Baron Dunning of Dunning and Pitcairns, Chief of the Name and Arms of Rollo
