The Striding Arches of Cairnhead | Moniaive, Dumfries & Galloway, Cairnhead | Sculptures on Mountain
The Striding Arches are a spectacular sight, situated on the tops of hills around the abandoned village of Cairnhead, near Moniaive in the South of Scotland. Built by the landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy using locally sourced stone they represent the emigration of Scots to countries such as Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
‘The stone is a potent symbol of the Scots who went abroad, of the tremendous upheaval they made, or were forced to make, when they left Scotland... I would hope that collectively these arches are a celebration and monument to the Scottish people and the travels they have made, and that they will act as a connection between those who have left and those who have stayed here.’ - Andy Goldsworthy

Places to see in ( Dornoch - UK )
Places to see in ( Dornoch - UK )
Dornoch is a town and seaside resort, and former Royal burgh in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies on the north shore of the Dornoch Firth, near to where it opens into the Moray Firth to the east. The town is within the Highland local government council area, and within the county of Sutherland.
The name 'Dornoch' is derived from the Gaelic for 'pebbly place', suggesting that the area contained pebbles the size of a fist (dorn) which could therefore be used as weapons. Dornoch has the thirteenth-century Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail, and the previous Bishop's Palace which is now the well-known hotel, Dornoch Castle and a notable golf course, the Royal Dornoch Golf Club, named the 5th best golf course outside the United States in 2005 by Golf Digest magazine.
It is also notable as the last place a witch was burnt in Scotland. Her name was Janet Horne; she was tried and condemned to death in 1727. There is a stone, the Witch's Stone, commemorating her death, inscribed with the year 1722. The golf course designer Donald Ross began his career as a greenkeeper on the Royal Dornoch links. The golf course is next to the award-winning blue flag beach.
Dornoch used to be connected to the main railway network at The Mound via a light railway. The railway was opened on 2 June 1902. Stations on the line were Dornoch, Embo, Skelbo, Cambusavie Halt and The Mound Junction. The stations were shut on 13 June 1960. Dornoch was a parliamentary burgh, combined with Dingwall, Kirkwall, Tain and Wick in the Northern Burghs constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918. Cromarty was added to the list in 1832.

Dunoon, Argyll & Bute, Scotland - Drive Through, Sandbank - Dunoon - Sandbank
Dunoon is the main town on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located on the western shore of the upper Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch and to the north of Innellan. As well as forming part of the council area of Argyll and Bute.
The early history of Dunoon often revolves around two feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a popular destination when travel by steamships was common around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians described this as going doon the watter. This diminished, and many holidaymakers started to go elsewhere as roads and railways improved and the popularity of overseas travel increased.
In 1961, during the height of the Cold War, Dunoon became a garrison town to the United States Navy. In 1992, shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, they closed their Holy Loch base in Sandbank, and neighbouring Dunoon suffered an economic downturn. Since the base's closure, the town and surrounding area are again turning to tourism, marketing to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, as well as promoting festivals and competitions. The largest annual event held in the town is the Cowal Highland Gathering, which has been held since 1894. The Royal National Mòd has been also been held in the town.
Dunoon Castle was built on a small, partly artificial, conical hill beside the Firth of Clyde in the 12th century, of which low walls remain. It eventually became a royal castle with the Earls of Argyll (Campbells) as hereditary keepers, paying a nominal rent of a single red rose to the sovereign. Mary, Queen of Scots visited Dunoon Castle on 26 July 1563 and granted several charters during her visit.
In 1646 the Dunoon massacre of members of Clan Lamont by members of Clan Campbell took place. The castle was destroyed during Argyll's Rising, a rebellion in 1685 against James VII.

Our story
We are Irvine and Karen and we love to travel. We have had the travel bug since we met 43 years ago and have travelled extensively ever since.
We travelled around the world in 2017 taking in Dubai, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, California and Florida. We have many great memories of that trip.
The section in New Zealand was a tour of the South Island by camper van and it was an incredible trip. We started in the North of the South Island by touring the vineyards of the Marlborough region and tasting our favourite wine which is the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. We then travelled down the East Coast to Kaikoura where we did a Whale Watching tour before stopping off in Christchurch. Our journey then took us to the beautiful Queenstown and further West to the Fjord Land of Milford Sound which has got to be one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. Once we reached Franz Joseph it was a helicopter ride to the the Franz Joseph Glacier which had us in awe and the spectacular drive through Arthur’s Pass completed what was an unforgettable trip around this beautiful country. The video series of our trip can be found on this YouTube channel.
We love to travel TOGETHER, as in our opinion it’s better to have SHARED memories than saying to each other “I wish you had seen this or that? or “If only you had been there” etc so our advice is always travel and do things TOGETHER and you will have so many SHARED memories.
After many holidays to the sunshine State we bought a villa in Florida in 2007 and had many more shared holidays with family and friends. We were very lucky to retire at 55 (me) and 52 (Karen) in 2015 and then started to spend 6 months per year living in our Florida home. We did this for 8 years before deciding that, after owning for 15 years, it was time to sell in 2023.
Our love of motorhoming started at a very young age (I was 20 and Karen 17) when we borrowed a small camper van from a friend and toured around the Highlands of Scotland, however it wasn’t until we retired in 2015 that we decided to buy our first motorhome a second hand Chausson Flash 10 which really gave us the bug. 3 years later we bought a brand new Mobilvetta K Yacht 85 and our love for motorhoming just grew deeper. After selling our house in Florida we decided it was time to buy our dream motorhome so went to the NEC and ordered a Carthago Chic C Line XL LE which is now known as Nessie due to being a monster and residing in Scotland. This van gives us everything we need in a motorhome, it’s very spacious, luxurious and has a massive amount of storage space which will be great for the European trips we have planned for the future.
Our first trip in Nessie was a tour around France which was incredible and the videos of that trip can be viewed on this YouTube channel also. The trip took us by ferry from Poole to Cherbourg where we visited the World War 2 museum and memorial at Utah Beach which was fabulous. We then travelled South through the Vendeé to Challans, La Rochelle and the île de Ré. Our next port of call was the beautiful Dordogne where we visited Monpazier, Chateau Naud, Chateau Beynac and the Lascaux Caves before we headed East to the Alps and the pretty towns of Annecy on Lake Annecy and Chamonix where we took the gondola to Aquille du Midi. After leaving Chamonix we headed North through Dijon to the Champagne region where we visited the Joseph Perrier Champagne house and Caves and sampled some of the beautiful champagne. This was a fantastic first trip in Nessie and we look forward to sharing future trips with you through this channel and hope you enjoy coming along with us.
Our motto: Live today like there could be no tomorrow - You only get one crack at this life so make sure to enjoy it.
Cheers
Irvine & Karen

The Highlands (Scots: the Hielands; Scottish Gaelic: a' Ghàidhealtachd [ə ˈɣɛːəl̪ˠt̪ʰəxk], lit. 'the place of the Gaels') is a historical region of Scotland.[1][failed verification] Culturally, the Highlands and the Lowlands diverged from the Late Middle Ages into the modern period, when Lowland Scots language replaced Scottish Gaelic throughout most of the Lowlands. The term is also used for the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands. The Scottish Gaelic name of A' Ghàidhealtachd literally means the place of the Gaels and traditionally, from a Gaelic-speaking point of view, includes both the Western Isles and the Highlands.
The Scottish Highlands are renowned for their natural beauty and are a popular subject in art (here depicted by Henry Bates Joel)
The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. During the 18th and early 19th centuries the population of the Highlands rose to around 300,000, but from c. 1841 and for the next 160 years, the natural increase in population was exceeded by emigration (mostly to Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and migration to the industrial cities of Scotland and England.)[2]: xxiii, 414 and passim The area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. At 9.1/km2 (24/sq mi) in 2012,[3] the population density in the Highlands and Islands is less than one seventh of Scotland's as a whole.[3]
The Highland Council is the administrative body for much of the Highlands, with its administrative centre at Inverness. However, the Highlands also includes parts of the council areas of Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Moray, North Ayrshire, Perth and Kinross, Stirling and West Dunbartonshire.
The Scottish Highlands is the only area in the British Isles to have the taiga biome as it features concentrated populations of Scots pine forest:[4] see Caledonian Forest. It is the most mountainous part of the United Kingdom.
ability of the peasant classes.[10]: 119–34
Agricultural improvement reached the Highlands mostly over the period 1760 to 1850. Agricultural advisors, factors, land surveyors and others educated in the thinking of Adam Smith were keen to put into practice the new ideas taught in Scottish universities.[11]: 141 Highland landowners, many of whom were burdened with chronic debts, were generally receptive to the advice they offered and keen to increase the income from their land.[17]: 417 In the East and South the resulting change was similar to that in the Lowlands, with the creation of larger farms with single tenants, enclosure of the old run rig fields, introduction of new crops (such as turnips), land drainage and, as a consequence of all this, eviction, as part of the Highland clearances, of many tenants and cottars. Some of those cleared found employment on the new, larger farms, others moved to the accessible towns of the Lowlands.[18]: 1–12

village of Arrochar is a popular gathering place for mountaineers due to its excellent road and rail links and close proximity to the Arrochar Alps.
Located at the head of Loch Long, Arrochar is one of the main gateways to the Argyll Forest Park, which stretches from the western shores of Loch Lomond south as far as Holy Loch. The village is set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery on the Cowal peninsula and is also a convenient base for exploring the northern section of the park. Easily reached by road and also by rail as Arrochar lies on the West Highland Line.

Established in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the powerful Clan Campbell, the town is an absolute set piece of Scottish Georgian architecture. Key buildings that are worth visiting include the neoclassical church, and Inveraray Jail and courthouse, now an award-winning museum that graphically recounts prison conditions from medieval times up until the 19th century.
A short walk north of the New Town, the neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle remains the family home of the Dukes of Argyll. The castle is set in extensive grounds which contain a number of marked walks, the most strenuous of which rises over 800 feet to the tower atop Dun Na Cuaiche from where there is a spectacular view over the castle, town and loch.
The town is also great gateway to the Highlands & Islands and provides an excellent base for day touring.

Anstruther - Drive Around - Fife, Scotland
Anstruther is a charming fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, along the Fife Coastal Path. It’s about an hour away from Edinburgh, Dundee, and Perth, and less than 15 minutes south of St Andrews. Anstruther is the largest in a string of pretty, old-fashioned fishing villages along the East Fife coast known as the East Neuk, and is especially known for its historical connection to the sea and the fishing way of life.
The town comprises two settlements, Anstruther Easter and Anstruther Wester, which are divided by a stream, the Dreel Burn. With a population of 3,500, it is the largest community on the Firth of Forth's north-shore coastline known as the East Neuk. To the east, it merges with the village of Cellardyke
Founded as a fishing village, Anstruther is home to the Scottish Fisheries Museum. Recreational vessels are now moored in the harbour, and a golf course is situated near the town. Anstruther Pleasure Cruises operate sightseeing/wildlife cruises from the harbour to the Isle of May, the UK's primary puffin location, on board the vessel the May Princess from April to October. An abundance of other wildlife, including seal colonies, also inhabit the island.
Local tradition states that early in the 12th century, Alexander I of Scotland granted the lands of Anstruther to a William de Candela. However, no records survive of this original grant, and the earliest recorded lord of Anstruther was mentioned in a charter of 1225. There have been several theories as to the origin of the, possibly mythical, William, but recent research has suggested he may have been a Norman from Italy. There is evidence that William the Conqueror sought assistance from William, Count of Candela. He sent his son (or possibly his grandson). It may be this was the William de Candela, who received the grant of land from Alexander
In 1225, it took the intervention of Pope Honorius III to settle a teinds dispute between the monks of Dryburgh Abbey and the fishermen of Anstruther, suggesting that the fishing was sufficiently good to warrant arguing over.
In December 1583, James VI of Scotland gave the town the status of a Royal Burgh and trading rights, recognizing the importance of the port, called the draucht of Anstruther. The bounds of the new Burgh were the Silver Dyke on the east, the low water line on the south, the Anstruther burn to the west, and the Kylrynnie march road.
By the 19th century, Anstruther-Easter, Anstruther-Wester, and Kilrenny were all separate royal and parliamentary boroughs. Anstruther-Easter held tanning, shipbuilding, and fish-curing establishments, as well as a coasting trade.

Reminiscence 2020 | Top 10 Places that I have visited in 2020 | Bengali Travel Vlog
2020 – a crazy year for us all. However, a whole year cannot be totally bad. There were indeed some positivity as well. Among all, travelling was severely impacted by 2020. However, it also provided us to explore our own local areas. I have also experienced the same and realised that we have gems in our own places / countries which we ignored while dreaming of world travel. Today’s video is about ten of my favourite places that I was lucky enough to visit. Most of them are in Scotland.
Now enjoy the top 10 places that I have visited in 2020.

village of Arrochar is a popular gathering place for mountaineers due to its excellent road and rail links and close proximity to the Arrochar Alps.
Located at the head of Loch Long, Arrochar is one of the main gateways to the Argyll Forest Park, which stretches from the western shores of Loch Lomond south as far as Holy Loch. The village is set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery on the Cowal peninsula and is also a convenient base for exploring the northern section of the park. Easily reached by road and also by rail as Arrochar lies on the West Highland Line.

Established in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the powerful Clan Campbell, the town is an absolute set piece of Scottish Georgian architecture. Key buildings that are worth visiting include the neoclassical church, and Inveraray Jail and courthouse, now an award-winning museum that graphically recounts prison conditions from medieval times up until the 19th century.
A short walk north of the New Town, the neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle remains the family home of the Dukes of Argyll. The castle is set in extensive grounds which contain a number of marked walks, the most strenuous of which rises over 800 feet to the tower atop Dun Na Cuaiche from where there is a spectacular view over the castle, town and loch.
The town is also great gateway to the Highlands & Islands and provides an excellent base for day touring.

The Highlands (Scots: the Hielands; Scottish Gaelic: a' Ghàidhealtachd [ə ˈɣɛːəl̪ˠt̪ʰəxk], lit. 'the place of the Gaels') is a historical region of Scotland.[1][failed verification] Culturally, the Highlands and the Lowlands diverged from the Late Middle Ages into the modern period, when Lowland Scots language replaced Scottish Gaelic throughout most of the Lowlands. The term is also used for the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands. The Scottish Gaelic name of A' Ghàidhealtachd literally means the place of the Gaels and traditionally, from a Gaelic-speaking point of view, includes both the Western Isles and the Highlands.
The Scottish Highlands are renowned for their natural beauty and are a popular subject in art (here depicted by Henry Bates Joel)
The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. During the 18th and early 19th centuries the population of the Highlands rose to around 300,000, but from c. 1841 and for the next 160 years, the natural increase in population was exceeded by emigration (mostly to Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and migration to the industrial cities of Scotland and England.)[2]: xxiii, 414 and passim The area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. At 9.1/km2 (24/sq mi) in 2012,[3] the population density in the Highlands and Islands is less than one seventh of Scotland's as a whole.[3]
The Highland Council is the administrative body for much of the Highlands, with its administrative centre at Inverness. However, the Highlands also includes parts of the council areas of Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Moray, North Ayrshire, Perth and Kinross, Stirling and West Dunbartonshire.
The Scottish Highlands is the only area in the British Isles to have the taiga biome as it features concentrated populations of Scots pine forest:[4] see Caledonian Forest. It is the most mountainous part of the United Kingdom.

Hiking Ben Lomond - Our First Munro | Scotland
Ben Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laomainn, lit. 'Beacon Mountain'), 974 metres (3,196 ft), is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. Situated on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, it is the most southerly of the Munros. Ben Lomond lies within the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, property of the National Trust for Scotland.
Its accessibility from Glasgow and elsewhere in central Scotland, together with the relative ease of ascent from Rowardennan, makes it one of the most popular of all the Munros: it is estimated that around 30,000 people reach the summit each year. On a clear day, it is visible from the higher grounds of Glasgow and across Strathclyde. Ben Lomond's summit can also be seen from Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Britain, over 40 miles (64 km) away. The West Highland Way runs along the western base of the mountain, by the loch.
Ben Lomond's popularity in Scotland has resulted in several namesakes in the former English colonies Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States – see this list. The mountain is mentioned directly in the popular folk song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond.
Ben Lomond has a craggy summit which appears conical when viewed from the nearby Arrochar Alps range.The mountain comprises two parallel south-southeasterly ridges: the Sròn Aonaich ridge to the east and the Ptarmigan ridge to the west. North of the summit these ridges come together and lead to a 456-metre (1,496 ft) col with Cruin a' Bheinn, a Graham. The summit is grassy and rocky and is marked by a triangulation pillar.
Ben Lomond's geology is dominated by granite, mica schist, diorite, porphyry and quartzite. Ben Lomond lies on the Scottish watershed, the drainage divide which separates river systems that flow to the east from those that flow to the west.
The usual route up Ben Lomond is via the 'tourist path', a wide, eroded and easy path which is roughly paved in steeper sections.This track was created owing to the mountain's status as one of the most popular in Scotland and climbs the gentle Sròn Aonaich ridge, before ascending a steeper section to the rocky summit ridge.
Distance: 14km
Time: 4-8 hours depending on ability

An alternative route follows the Ptarmigan ridge to the summit along a steeper and rockier path.The Ptarmigan path is the second most popular route, followed by a third route which approaches from Gleann Dubh.
Despite the comparative ease of the tourist route, Ben Lomond can present a significant challenge to inexperienced walkers, especially in poor weather conditions. A dedicated Lomond Mountain Rescue Team has existed since 1967 to assist walkers and climbers on Ben Lomond and other surrounding peaks.
