		<title>I knew it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent Lonely Planet Travel Awards for 2010 features Walking Scotland&#8217;s wild beaches as the winner of &#8220;Most under-rated British day out&#8221;, I read this morning.
Four of us took a 3 hour stroll along the coast of Kintyre on Saturday -  a route we know as the &#8220;Seven beach walk&#8221; .  No other people, warm [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new favourite ferry&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am always delighted to find new gems on my travels round Scotland. For some reason I had not been on the Glenelg-Kylerhea ferry on my past visits to Skye, so when organising our latest Classic Car Club weekend on the island I decided to give it a try&#8230;and wow!
Here is the oldest crossing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A wonderful advert for the Outer Hebrides</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Visit Scotland could not buy better advertising than the latest series from Monty Hall, the marine biologist and rather rugged-looking ( according to my female colleagues in the office) adventurer, who spent most of a year in North and South Uist. Catch it on BBC i-player  (if you live in the UK). I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer arrives on the Scottish islands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend always marks the change from winter to summer timetables for the Calmac ferries serving the islands, with summer only connections re-starting and extra sailings on all the main routes. Just a wee milestone, like the arrival of the first swallow, to remind us that the spring and summer are on their way. Mind [...]]]></description>

		<title>The (very) far north&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just back from Shetland, which will be a new addition to our holiday programme for 2010. Looking forward to marketing one of the most unique parts of Britain, which offers a very different, truly dramatic landscape and a social character which is more Scandinavian than Scottish.
One of the highlights of my trip was to reach [...]]]></description>

		<title>What did you do last weekend?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A question often asked of me, so here is some photographic evidence.

Not only did we enjoy some fabulous weather, but Heather and I also manage to find 20 dolphins, a deserted beach, a remote island (with its own bar) and great fresh seafood. Then on Monday, we took the ferry to the island of Arran [...]]]></description>
