		<description><![CDATA[St Andrews recently received an award for being one of the country’s most creative places. The town has been given a cash prize of 150,000 as a winner of Creative Place Awards, a national initiative as part of the Year of Creative Scotland 2012 that aims to reward the hard work and imagination of local organisations in contributing to the cultural life of the community. The application for the award was led by The Byre Theatre and the St Andrews Partnership who are now working together to host the St Andrews Year of Celebration, showcasing the fantastic variety of cultural events in and around the town throughout the year. The Year of Celebration will show why St Andrews was a deserving winner of the Creative Place Awards with a wide range of cultural events to suit all tastes. From poetry to outdoor performing arts, opera to wine-tasting, St Andrews hopes to become the artistic hub for Fife, drawing together the diverse events and organisations under the united banner of the Year of Celebration. Continue reading&#8230;.. Funding from the Creative Places Awards will be primarily in the following areas: Supporting a major new community-based musical drama production, ‘Macpherson’s Rant’, to be staged by the Byre Theatre in November 2012. Providing additional promotional and administrative support to the major events happening in and around St Andrews in 2012. Creating a much-needed shared administrative/meeting space for the use of local event organisers, both in 2012 and beyond. Creating a permanent record of the Year of Celebration’s activities in a creative way – for example, by commissioning both a poet and a photographer to capture the flavour and colour of major events in the town. The St Andrews Year of Celebration is the launch of St Andrews culture into an international spotlight. The year hopes to promote the cultural strengths of St Andrews, Fife and Scotland on a world stage in recognition of the value of culture and creativity for, not only the community, but also the nation of Scotland as a whole. We hope to bring together local businesses, cultural organisations, event directors and members of the local community to develop the image of St Andrews as a world-class cultural destination and to create a legacy for years to come. Other events that are part of the St Andrews Year of Celebration include: StAnza, Fife Jazz, On The Rocks, East Neuk Festival, World Saxophone Congress, Crail Food Festival, Bugsy Malone starring the Byre Youth Theatre, Inside Out Street Theatre and Outdoor Performing Arts Festival, Pittenweem Arts Festival, St Andrews Festival, St Andrews Voices and the University 600th Anniversary Celebrations. For more information visit celebration.standrews.co.uk. You can follow them on Twitter via @Creative_Places and you can find us on Facebook: St Andrews Year of Celebration 2012]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark from Abandoned Scotland sent me an email to point out their stunning Youtube channel. They are not the usual Scottish Landscape videos but beautifully edited scenes of former industrial and other sites, the forgotten and abandoned places in Scotland. The video below shows the forgotten railway trains of Dunaskin, not far from Ayr. Mark wrote: &#8220;It started life as an Ironworks in 1840 but as the times changed it was uneconomical to keep open and was closed in 1921. It was then used as a brickworks and for coal mining used all the way up to 1988 when the last brick was produced. The Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group now run here stripping the trains down to renovate or to repair other trains. In 2012 there will be Steam Open Days at Dunaskin where everyone will get the chance to ride on various steam trains.&#8221; Make sure to check out the other videos on his Youtube Channel as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was in August 2011 that the community around Loch Ewe held a 70th anniversary Memorial Service to commemorate the first of many convoys that set sail from Loch Ewe on their perilous journey taking war supplies to Russia. Between 1941 and 1945 the local Wester Ross community supported this key part of the war effort, and today&#8217;s local community are now working hard to raise money for a Museum on the shores of the loch. They are determined to create a lasting legacy to the 3,000 men who died and to all who took part in this remarkable story from WWII. The importance of highlighting the legacy of the WWII Russian Arctic Convoys is central to the project plans for a Russian Arctic Convoy Museum to be based on the shores of Loch Ewe, North West Scotland. The regeneration project needs to raise 3 million GPS to build the Museum and a new Community Centre for the village of Aultbea, which was designated HMS Helicon during WWII. The Russian Arctic Convoy Museum group are planning an exciting event in early May. Entitled &#8216;World War II and the Arctic Convoys&#8217; Week, the week of 7th &#8211; 12th May is shaping up into a fascinating range of lectures, exhibitions, dances, tea parties and reunions to be held in the Wester Ross area &#8211; all around the Wartime 1940&#8242;s theme. All proceeds will go towards the Museum Project. During this week there is a chance to see and use the world famous Enigma machine. There will be ‘Hands On’ sessions available. Dr Mark Baldwin, a world expert on code-breaking, is the keynote speaker at the event. He is bringing his Enigma machine with him when he lectures on ‘Enigma and Bletchley Park’, as well as ‘U-Boats and the Convoys’. There will also be a Families Hands-On session, where the whole family can come along and use this remarkable device. The German military used the Enigma cipher machine during the war to keep their communications secret. The German authorities believed in the absolute security of the Enigma. However, with the help of Polish mathematicians who had managed to acquire a machine prior to the outbreak of WW2, British code breakers stationed at Bletchley Park managed to exploit weaknesses in the machine and this gave the Allies a key advantage, which, according to historians, shortened the war by two years thus saving many lives. To support the plans of the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum group in Wester Ross and to learn more about this exciting and important project please visit www.russianarcticconvoymuseum.co.uk]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there is one Loch in Scotland that has a somewhat unusual history it&#8217;s probably Loch Ewe. Why? Loch Ewe played an important part in WW2, it was a Convoy Collecting Point for the Arctic convoys to Russia. During that time Loch Ewe was protected by light and heavy anti aircraft guns, the remains of these gun emplacements and other buildings are still present and dotted around the Loch. For some the history of this Loch is reason enough for a visit but for most it&#8217;s the sheer beauty of the place. Loch Ewe and surrounding area is a stunningly beautiful part of Wester Ross. There are lovely wee villages and you will find magnificent scenery, plenty of opportunities for short and long walks and cycling, an abundance in wildlife such as otters and sea eagles and many other things to see and do. My wife and I visited Loch Ewe many times over the last ten years and the length and number of our visits are increasing. Just after our Autumn visit in 2011 I was contacted by long-time Poolewe resident Tracy McLachlan after she had found my Loch Ewe webpage. Tracy almost single-handedly started up a new visitor centre in the Village Hall on the seafront at Poolewe, to promote Loch Ewe and the surrounding area. The new visitor centre will open on the 26th of March but the website is already live and packed with information about the area. For more information visit www.visitlochewe.com or connect through social media via Twitter or Facebook. Make sure though not to miss the visitor centre itself when you&#8217;re in the area. I understand from Tracy that the centre will provide lots of practical information, accommodation tips, guides, leaflets, maps etc. to get the most out of your visit in this magnificent part of Scotland.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you think you need to head for the Alps for some decent skiing you can be wrong. Scotland offers some great skiing in the five resorts of Glenshee in Aberdeenshire, Lecht in Strathdon, The Nevis Range in Inverness-shire, Glencoe in Argyll and on the Cairngorm mountain range near Aviemore. I&#8217;ve added a new page to the Scotland Info website where you can read all about Skiing in Scotland as well as about the five major ski resorts. There is news widget where you read about the current snow situation on the ski slopes and the amount of runs available for each resort. Check out the new Scotland Skiing Page for more info. To show you what I mean I&#8217;ve added a video which has been shot in the five ski resorts mentioned above.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While New Year’s Eve is celebrated around the world the Scots have a long rich heritage associated with the event and even have their own word for it – Hogmanay. Theories abound about the derivation of the word ‘Hogmanay’. The Scandinavian word for the feast preceding Yule was ‘Hoggonott’, while the Flemish words – many of which came into the Scots language – ‘hoog min dag’ means ‘great love day.’ Hogmanay could also be traced back to the Anglo Saxon ‘Haleg monath’, holy month, or the Gaelic ‘òg maiden’, which refers to ‘new morning. But the most likely source seems to be the French ‘Homme est ne’, translated ‘Man is born.’ In France the last day of the year when gifts were exchanged was called ‘aguilleneuf’, while in Normandy presents given at that time were known as ‘hoguignetes.’ In Scotland a similar practice to that in Normandy was rather disapprovingly recorded by the Church in the Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence of 1693 thus: It is ordinary among some Plebians in the South of Scotland to go about from door to door on New Year’s Eve crying Hagmane.’ Some historians believe that we inherited the word from the Vikings who, coming from even further north than ourselves, paid much more attention to the passing of the shortest day. In Shetland, where the Viking influence is at its strongest, New Year is called Yules and taken from the Norse language. Continue reading&#8230;.. Christmas was not celebrated in Scotland and was virtually banned and with most Scots required to work over the Christmas period. Their important winter solstice holiday was the New Year when family and friends gathered to party and exchange gifts and this became ‘Hogmanay.’ Among the traditions associated with the festivity is the practice of ‘first footing’, (the first foot in house after midnight) and this continued until the advent of television and its toe-curlingly bad Hogmanay programmes began to make inroads into the social habits of the communities. Considered to be the ideal ‘first foot’ was a dark haired male who was guaranteed to bring luck to the household. This was a throwback to Viking raids when the arrival of a blonde stranger on your front step often spelled trouble! Among the ‘first footer’s’ gifts were symbolic coal, shortbread,blackbun and whisky. Hanselling was the custom of giving gifts on the first Monday of the New Year, but this tradition has long since died out. In the last 50 years the celebration of Christmas has increased in popularity in Scotland and has largely eclipsed the New Year festivities throughout the country. But be it so ever low key now it still remains part of a long established custom and the Scots world-wide continue to have anaffinity with the traditions surrounding the ancient pagan festival of Hogmanay. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE This story was published with kind permission of the Ileach Islay newspaper.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reindeer were re-introduced to Scotland in the Cairngorm Mountains in 1952 by a Swedish Sámi by the name of Michal Utsi. The Cairngorm Reindeer are the UK’s only free-ranging herd, and they roam the slopes of some of Scotland’s highest peaks, feeding on the only sub-arctic territory in the UK. As a herder it was my job to ‘roam’ out and locate them throughout the year. These reindeer are still managed today in much the same way as they were when Mr Utsi brought them here. They spend almost their entire life on the mountains with minimal fuss needed from the herders. The herders know each reindeer by name, and they are so tame they come running when you call them. Despite this, they are incredibly independent, and are only really comfortable in these wild environments. However, all of them must make a living somehow &#8211; and each of the male reindeer are trained to pull Santa’s sleigh! They will all take it in turns to pull Santa in street parades throughout the UK during the festive period, before returning to the slopes for the rest of winter. As an Arctic animal, they are found in the worlds harshest environments. But their range enabled the people of the Arctic to survive there too as they took on the role of cow, horse, sheep and goat: reindeer pull sleighs of people, packages and houses; their pelts provide the best thermal clothing; their solid antlers are valuable tools; they provide meat and even milk; in some parts of the world they are even ridden. What better animal to make it around the world and back in one night? From this place I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a great 2012. Thanks for visiting my website and blog.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, december 8th, a severe Atlantic storm hit Scotland. The headlines in the Scotsman this morning say &#8220;60,000 left powerless as gales wreak havoc&#8221; and I&#8217;ve heard that the windspeeds were among the highest in the last ten years. Yesterday during the storm I had received several emails and pictures from friends on Islay showing the huge waves and wild seas. It was interesting to follow their Twitter messages and to see everything they had posted. In the afternoon I received an email with a fabulous picture of what looked like a snow landscape but in fact it was Saligo Bay on Islay during the storm. yesterday evening I received more stunning images from a friend on islay who went out late afternoon to Islay&#8217;s west coast where you have great views of the storm battered coast and wild Atlantic Ocean. Earlier that day I found quite a scary picture of a few lorries blown off the road at Rest and be Thankful. Wild Atlantic Sea on Islay&#8217;s west coast (picture James Deane) A quote from the article in the Scotsman: &#8220;It was the day Scotland battened down the hatches against the first “red alert” weather warning in Met Office history for hurricane-force winds, which hit 165mph, bringing thunder, lighting, driving rain and power cuts for at least 60,000 people. As the skies darkened, three-quarters of the nation’s schools were forced to close, all major road bridges were shut and drivers across central Scotland were told by police to avoid travel. But the roads still witnessed a spate of toppled lorries and an empty school bus, while winds blew over a wind turbine and, incredibly, appeared to set another ablaze.&#8221; It is obvious of course that all the ferries were cancelled as well yesterday. Fortunately everything seems to be pretty much back to normal today!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I found a blog, Around Scotland, with beautiful views of the Scottish Mountains, taken not from the glens but from high up in the hills. Due to a wee injury in my lower back I can&#8217;t make such trips myself anymore which is why I enjoyed these breathtaking pictures even more. After a closer examination I also found out that the pictures represented places where I&#8217;ve been myself such as Rannoch Moor, The Kings House Hotel, Glen Coe and Glen Etive and my interest was raised even more. Curious as I am I contacted the owner of the website to find out more about the person behind these beautiful images, mainly to write about this fabulous blog and also because the text in the captions were in Polish. After a few emails back and forth Ela Dzimitko, the owner of the blog, sent me an introduction with more information about herself and why she likes Scotland so much: My name is Ela Dzimitko. I am polish, living in Edinburgh. I moved to uk few years ago, planned to stay for 2 years but loved Scottish Highlands so much that it&#8217;s already been 7 years as I came over. I&#8217;ve always been an &#8216;outside activities&#8217; person so moving to scotland not only preserved that but developed my love to hills and wilderness. I wouldnt call myself a munro bagger or hill bagger, I simply love spending time outside, wandering along beaches, wandering in the hills or just discovering new places. Few years ago I bought my first dslr camera and started another hobby &#8211; photography. I think that combining the photography with hillwalking is a perfect combination for me just now 2 things I like doing the most, and I just love when via watching my pictures other people can share the experience with me, can share the enthusiasm and admire some places which are usually hidden, remote or not accessible. I would be happy to, via my photography and short stories, encourage some other people to go and explore Stob Dearg with Rannoch Moor on the right and a glimpse of the Kings House Hotel I must admit that Ela succeeded in sharing the remote places and enthusiasm very well. Through my love for Scotland I&#8217;ve seen many pictures on many websites but this particular series of images taken during a walk at Buachaille Etive Mòr is one of the best so far. The photo&#8217;s cover a whole day in the mountains near Glen Coe, from sunrise to sunset, as well as climbing several munros in between. Beautiful pictures, taken on a beautiful day in almost perfect light conditions. I want to thank Ela for sharing these images and her story with us. The pictures in this post are courtesy of Ela (Around Scotland) Beautiful light over Glen Etive and Loch Etive in the distance]]></description>
