Arran: Lochranza to Corrie [07:48]
Arran: The Isle of Arran itself is located in south-western Scotland, in the Firth of Clyde near Glasgow from where a combined boat and train ticket can be purchased [£20.10 - August 2012, Glasgow Central Station]. Measuring approximately 167 square miles (433 km2) in area, the Island has a population of approximately 5000. Although the seventh largest island in Scotland, Arran is not technically one of the Hebrides, being the southernmost of the Scottish islands. Arran is just 20-miles long and 56-miles round and in the Gaelic means 'peaked island'. Often referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature', Arran offers visitors a compact and easily accessible island that mimics the geology of mainland Scotland, with a sparsely populated and mountainous northern half that contains the Corbetts Beinn Tarsuinn, Cir Mhor, Caisteal Abhail and Goatfell as well as the Graham Beinn Bharrain, with a flatter, more populous southern half. Located close to Glasgow and Scotland's Ayrshire coast, Arran is a popular and easily accessible tourist destination and of course, a walker's paradise, with walks of every single description imaginable. From Brodick an all-day ticket on the 324 bus takes you round to Lochranza and the commencement of the gentle hillwalk over to Laggan to the remote white-painted Laggan Cottage, followed by the resultant easy Coastal Path route to Sannox and then by roadside to Corrie. Lochranza of course is host to the small vehicle ferry that leaves Claonaig, a tiny spot on ...

Dunnottar Castle Stonehaven North East Coast Scotland May 19th [01:05]
Tour Scotland video of Dunnottar Castle. A windy day at the ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about two miles south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th to 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been an early fortress of the Dark Ages. Dunnottar played a strategic role in the history of Scotland from the Middle Ages through to the Enlightenment, because of the location: it overlooked the shipping lanes to northern Scotland; and is situated on a narrow coastal terrace that controlled land access to the coastal south via Portlethen Moss to Aberdeen during the medieval period. Both the Jacobites and Hanoverians used Dunnottar Fortress. In 1689 during Viscount Dundee's campaign, fourteen suspected Jacobites from Aberdeen were held in the fortress for approximately a year, including George Liddel, professor of mathematics. In 1715 the Dunnotar cannons were utilized by the Jacobites; following this uprising all the possessions of the Earl Mariscal were forfeit, and the fortress was dismantled three years later.

Great Britain V in Scotland 24-26 April 2012 - 46115 45305 45407 46233.mpeg [05:18]
Some of the Scottish tours of the Great Britain V rail tour as always well organised and a big thanks to the staff crew and the organisers! 1. 46115 Scots Guardsman coasts downhill through Carmyle station Glasgow on 1Z42 from Inverness to Glasgow, 24 April 2. 45305+45407 passing Barassie on 1Z47 the Glasgow (Barnhill) to Stranraer leg 25 April. 3. 46233 passes first Irvine then New Cumnock on 1Z53 the Glasgow (Barnhill) to Carlisle leg on 26 April. Thanks to Jake Nicky and Scott for the company and banter. Thanks also to Clark C, Don for the company on 26 April. The wind on the 25 & 26 April was particularly strong and it was difficult to stay steady in the open spots we chose to film. However it was great to film steam across the border once again and particularly Duchess of Sutherland on the G&SW line, a real nostalgic run for me personally. The Duchesses were surely Stanier's masterpiece?!
