The Hilton Coylumbridge Hotel

Scotland makes the perfect destination for anyone going on a weekend break to the countryside. From the rolling hills and river valleys of the south, up to the very northern reaches of the Scottish Highlands, and the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides, there are some great spots to visit.

Rock Climbing Experience

Rock climbing is an experience that everyone should try at least once. As an avid rock climber, my opinion on this subject may be biased, but the benefits that I have received from partaking in such an activity have all been positive.

The Scottish Seabird Centre of Edinburgh

The coast of Scotland is a haven for seabirds. If you are staying at one of the many Princes Street hotels Edinburgh has to offer, you will see only seagulls gliding on the wind above and perched on statues. However, just a short distance away is the seaside and offshore are the Isle of May, Craigleith, and the famous Bass Rock. Here gannets, puffins, shags, and cormorants gather to create what David Attenborough has called one of the “Twelve Wildlife Wonders of the World.”

Scottish Beer

Nearly everywhere you go in Scotland and anybody you speak to in or outside the country - who knows their geography reasonably well, will know one major export produced by the Scots: whiskey.

Step Back and Enjoy Scotland

The wife had been harassing for a number of months to take the family on a holiday. To be honest, I really had no intention of ever fulfilling that dream of hers at that moment, since I was bogged down at work. Yet, I was confronted with a deal of a life time.

Scotland, A Student's Paradise

I will be the first to admit that post-secondary education can be overwhelming at times, especially when you consider the amount of time and money that the individual funnels into studies. Yet, somewhere along the line, we are assured that it is a wise career choice. In contemporary society this idea of career advancement as a result of a post-secondary education does not necessarily hold true. This is not to say that university graduates are less likely to land a better job, but it is more than likely not a result of his studies. Instead, it is a clear demonstration to potential employers of commitment, and time management. While these skills can be learned outside of the classroom, they are pretty much the backbone to any field of study.

Another Satisfied Guest

Have you ever left something behind when you were on a trip overseas? The thought is horrible, I am aware. Yet, it happens to the best of us, or in my case, all the time. Regardless of how frequent this happens to you, it soon becomes apparent that there is little hope of ever recovering your item, or so I thought.
