Venture into the History of the Scottish Highlands
The historic village of Killin sits almost exactly in the center of Scotland, surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of Breadalbane, Scotland’s High Country. Killin is steeped in historical drama, having been the stronghold of the McNabs, and later the Breadalbane Campbells, during the era of Scotland’s history when the true ruling power of the country was in the hands of the clans. It is in this unique setting that the Breadalbane Folklore Center is found.

Travel Back in Time With the Alford Valley Railway
The expanding British railway network reached the town of Alford in 1859, and as it had for many small towns and villages in the country, the railway brought hope, expansion and prosperity. Cuts to the British railways in 1965, led to the Alford Valley Railway being closed down in 1966. With the closure, came the end of an era, and the railway lay dormant in Alford for many years. But a group of volunteers were patiently biding their time, to breathe new life into the railway and to transform it into an interactive exhibit and historical attraction in Scotland.
Tarbert Seafood Festival – Fun for the Whole Family
On the west coast of beautiful Scotland lies the small and peaceful town of Tarbert. Visitors often lose themselves in the tranquility of the breathtaking bay and the hospitality of the friendly locals. But as with most tiny villages in Scotland, it might be quiet and subdued throughout the year but when a festival comes around the town erupts in celebration, fun, entertainment and excitement. Visitors will experience this burst of life during the Tarbert Seafood Festival.
Adventures Galore in Galloway Forest Park
Galloway Forest Park covers an area of approximately three hundred square miles, and is a rugged landscape filled with magnificent mountains such as Mullwharcher, Rhinns of Kells, Dungeon, Icy Hand and The Merrick. Its endless hills and open ranges, blanketed by conifers and lush vegetation, make it hard to believe that such a picturesque part of Scotland could have been witness to historical battles and bloodshed. Each site in Galloway Forest Park has its own story and its own beauty to share.
