Only in Scotland – Outer Hebrides
The Outer Hebrides in Scotland is a destination to behold. Gorgeous beaches and bays, diverse wildlife, breathtaking scenery and an authentic Scottish island life experience are all part of what makes this area so special.
The pristine white sands, crystal-clear waters, and raw landscapes make it hard to believe that one is not in the Caribbean.

Most remote pub in mainland Scotland reopens after refurb
The most remote pub in mainland Scotland - and Britain - has reopened after locals raised £1 million to buy and do it up.
The Old Forge is located in the village of Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula in Lochaber on the west coast of Scotland.
Upgrade of island tourist spots completed to ease visitor congestion
In a country renowned for its world-class scenery, the Fairy Pools, Old Man of Storr and Quiraing on the Isle of Skye are among the most popular natural attractions Scotland has to offer.
With all three sites becoming must-see locations on tourists’ Scottish travel plans in recent years, there have been increasing fears that their fragile ecological beauty will be overwhelmed.
Now work to safeguard all three sites against the legions of tourists paying them a visit has been completed, in the hope that it will ensure that the reputation of Skye - the largest of the Inner Hebrides - is maintained or improved as a ‘bucket list’ visitor destination.
'Loving their gin': Glasgow pub welcomes UCI cyclists

Only 1 Person Came to Her Edinburgh Fringe Show. What She Did Next Sold Out the Show.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest arts event, features an overwhelming 3,500 shows.
This August, Playbill covers every facet of this colossal festival. Among the myriad acts, performers sometimes face incredibly intimate audiences, such as Georgie Grier, who presented her self-penned solo show "Sunsets" to just one person on August 3rd.
Grier's candid response took the form of a viral tweet with her tearful photo, resonating with over 50,000 people, including comedians Dara Ó Briain and Ben Stiller.
Her intention was to foster unity among fellow Fringe participants who share similar experiences.
Unexpectedly, Grier's subsequent shows sold out and "Sunsets" became a hit at the Gilded Balloon venue, showcasing the strength of the Fringe community.
Despite her success, Grier remains grounded, actively promoting her show and personally connecting with her audience. "Sunsets" explores living life as a romantic comedy, challenging conventional endings. Grier's pursuit of her own "happily ever after" involves steadfast dedication to her craft and the pursuit of diverse opportunities.

Is Haggis The Most Scottish Thing You Can Eat?
In Scotland, haggis is an absolute classic and a traditional dish that has been around for centuries. It is inexpensive, tasty, and nourishing. This savory pudding is prepared with minced sheep’s pluck (heart, lungs, and liver), oatmeal, and spices. Haggis is often served with a great deal of ceremony, especially on the Scottish New Year, Hogmanay.
