The house, a National Trust for Scotland (NTS) project in Glencoe, will offer visitors a glimpse of how people lived in the glen around the time of the 1692 massacre.

When he finally found them, the years seemed to have soften...

THE greatest collection of statues and monuments in a public space in Scotland is to be found in Glasgow’s George Square at the heart of the city.  Yes, there are many monuments and not a few statues in cemeteries such as the Necropolis in Glasgow and Greyfriars Kirkyard and Old Calton in Edinburgh, while Princes Street Gardens has more memorials and statues, but nowhere in Scotland rivals George Square for the magnificence of its statuary in such a relatively small public space.    ...
