This was the bus driver who took us up to Oban from Glasgow and back again. Had a right laugh.

Britain’s Best Breaks ~ Scottish Highlands

One of the many excellent videos I have discovered recently on the topic of Scottish names.

The Scottish Highlands are the perfect destination in Britain to get away from the spiralling pressures of everyday life. The names roll of the tongue with ease; Fort William, Loch Leven, the Great Glen, The Cairngorms and, of course, the eternal mystery that is Loch Ness. In addition to some of Britain’s most outstanding natural beauty, this region has everything you could ask for when planning a break. Entertainment, culture, art and music, plus some of the most exciting heritage sites in the United Kingdom – it’s all here.

A question from Jane Doe: In what ways have the Scottish Highlands been romanticised since the 18th century?
This is something I need to consider for an essay on Scottish history. Academic answers if possible but opinions are useful too! I’m also looking at the romanticisation of the Jacobites and their relationship to the clans if anyone has any input on that!
Thank you.
