I was looking for videos about holidays in Scotland and found this super video which I am sure you will find informative.

This film was made by Tom Peel and Robin Wallace in the 60′s. It’s a bit grainy but it is a copy from a cine film that is over 40 years old so what do you expect. Our hapless traveller (Tom Peel) is trying to get from Durham to Scotland by train. He misses the train and gets a Taxi to go at breakneck speed to try and beat the train to Newcastle and catch it there. He arrives at Newcastle Central Station and gets on the train only to find out that it’s the wrong one and he ends up………..IN DURHAM Hope you enjoy it!

A question from Taffer: What is the best way to get from Scotland to Dublin?
We are a family of 4 travelling through England to Edinburgh and then we want to cross over to Dublin. Would it be best to go back down to Liverpool and catch a ferry over to Ireland or should we ferry over from Scotland?

I came across this video about Scottish names the other day and thought that you might find it interesting.

The west coast of Barbados is known as a favorite winter destination for British tourists, ranging from the upmarket Sandy Lane resort to the all-drinks-included package holiday crowd arriving by economy class. Many will come from Scotland, but few will realise that just fourteen miles away on the rocky east side of the island live a community of McCluskies, Sinclairs and Baileys who are not, as might be expected, black Bajans bearing the family names given by slave owners centuries ago, but poor whites eking out a subsistence existence. Known as the Redlegs, they are the direct descendants of the Scots transported to Barbados by Cromwell after the Civil War. Scottish author and broadcaster Chris Dolan went to meet them to discover why they are still here 350 years later, what they know about their roots, and what their prospects are today when they are the poorest community on the island. Chris speaks to leading historians in Barbados and Scotland about how their ancestors were treated when they first arrived. Was their plight as severe as that of the black slaves from Africa? Nearly two centuries after emancipation, this Redleg community has yet to find a role on the island, where it is damned by association with the days of slavery, even though many of its forbears were victims themselves. In recent years, it has begun to come out of its racial isolation; could there yet be a hopeful future for this lost Scottish tribe?

Best answer:

Answer by John B
