How's this for a bedroom view? Looking out from the Castlebay Hotel in Barra towards Kisimul Castle at sunset. Built in the mid-1400s by the MacNeils, this was their base for around 400 years!

Perfect timing when you happen to be taking a tour around Skye and the Highland Games are on! The Pipe Band marching through the streets of Portree last night was just a wee taste of the action we'll see today! Unfortunately, they got caught in a downpour 5 seconds later...

How about a wee sing song on a Saturday morning? This is Peter MacAskill, who runs the Giant Angus MacAskill Museum in Dunvegan on Skye, singing a local Gaelic song (Don't worry, I asked if I could film to show you all.)

This is Clachan Duich Burial Ground and if you're a Macrae then it's an important spot for you as the traditional burial spot of the Macraes of Kintail. For everybody else, you might not have any ancestors buried here, but look at that view!

Ever wondered the best way to get inside a 5000 year old burial cairn? Probably not, but it's on a skateboard, pulling along a rope, just like Orkney's Tomb of the Eagles!

Have you ever heard the phrase "Ne'er cast a cloot till May is oot"? Even if you have, it might not mean what you think. It's an old Scottish saying that pops up loads this time of year on social media, although last year, a few folk got confused.

Today is the anniversary of the Glencoe Massacre, an atrocity that still stirs up emotions, 330 years later. A few years after the 1689 Jacobite rising, things were grumbling on. The government offered a pardon to any clan who made an oath to King William II by January 1st 1692.

No story, just one of my favourite easy walks in Angus. Near to Edzell, you'll find the Blue Door Walk, an undulating stroll through the trees alongside the River North Esk. For me, it's the perfect walk to blow away the cobwebs and stretch the legs on a crisp, cold winters day!

Happy Burns Night everybody, if you're celebrating tonight or last night, I hope you have a fantastic time and raise a dram to Scotland's National Poet. Here's a nice, simple poem/song by Robert Burns that I'm sure a lot of you will resonate with. My Heart's In The Highlands!

Come on a trip to one of my favourite wee chapels anywhere in Scotland. This is Keills Chapel, sitting at the end of a long spur of land in Argyll that juts out into the sea.

This is probably the oldest standing church in Scotland - St Fillans in Aberdour on the southern Fife coast. The oldest section dates back to 1123, although as you can imagine for something that's been in use for 900 years, it was extended a couple of times!

A couple of miles along quiet Glen Mark, you'll find this strange stone Monument known as the Queen's Well. This giant crown was built to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria in 1861 after she stopped to drink what she described as incredibly pure water from the White Well.

This is probably the best 'bang for your buck' hike in Scotland! You might have visited the grave of Rob Roy Macgregor at Balquhidder, but did you know there's an incredible short walk up that hill beside it?

Since we're getting closer to Scotland's tourist season, I'm looking forward to the things I get to show people around the country. One of those is something that sounds simple, but everybody always loves. Heading to the Isle of Skye on Scotland's last operating turntable ferry!

This is believed to be the oldest tree in Europe - the Fortingall Yew in Perthshire is over 5000 years old! Now, Yew trees are notoriously difficult to date and estimates range from 3000 to 9000 years, but I'm using the Forestry Commission's official decision.

Today would have been Molly's 15th birthday and I miss that daft dog more than you can imagine. It's been a very tough winter without her, but I'm glad we've got so many highlights to look back on.

On this day in 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie left Scotland after the 1745 Jacobite Rising, never to return. This simple monument overlooking Loch nan Uamh is the Prince's Cairn and as the inscription explains, marks the traditional spot where Prince Charles Edward Stuart boarded

In June 1836, a group of young boys hunting rabbits on the slopes of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh found more than they had bargained for. Hidden in a little crevice, they discovered 17 miniature coffins laid out in three rows. Inside each one lay a carved figurine

Did you know that you can reach the Isle of Skye on Scotland's last operating turntable ferry? The Glenelg Ferry crosses the narrowest stretch of water between Skye and mainland Scotland and it's my favourite way to travel!

This beautiful place is known as the Corrieshalloch Gorge, just south of Ullapool and Loch Broom. Hard to believe that the word Corrieshalloch actually means Ugly Hollow!

Come for a wee walk in the woods with me in the Knapdale Forest of Argyll to the abandoned township of Kilmory Oib. I've visited a lot of fascinating places in my time, but something about this place felt different.

Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye is the historic seat of Clan Macleod and a secure location for their most valuable treasure. It might just look like a faded, battered bit of cloth but this is the famous Fairy Flag and the following is one of the stories of how it came to be.
