Monday 29 August
Grab a Scottish Glen
‘Grab
a Glen’ with VisitScotland this autumn and experience some
of the active adventures, unique walking and spectacular
glens that Scotland has to offer.
Follow travel
writer Robin McKelvie’s inspirational travel diary at www.visitscotland.com/grabaglen as he
grabs the glens, hikes the hills and experiences the very
best of Active Scotland in 2011.
Robin will post two
travel diaries a week, along with his own photos and video
content, offering a unique new way of seeing and showcasing
Scotland, and inspiring visitors to experience it for
themselves.
Travelling around Scotland from August to
November, Robin will experience Scotland’s stunning
landscapes and take part in many fantastic adventures
throughout the country, from kayaking the coastal wilds of
Scotland’s islands, and visiting the iconic shores of Loch
Ness, to mountain biking some of Europe’s best forest
trails and walking the many unique and inspiring glens
throughout the country.
Robin said, “I am really
excited to be heading off to check out my native land over
the next few months. This is the year of Active Scotland
and there is nowhere better to get active with over 700
islands, a myriad of mountains and hills, as well as our
mighty rivers and countless lochs.”
“I'll be doing
everything from taking my kids out walking in the great
outdoors through to land yachting, whitewater rafting,
sampling a few drams amongst the glens, and getting active
around Scotland’s gorges, so I hope you can join me as I
go.”
Grab a Glen was launched by VisitScotland as
part of the year of Active Scotland - a year of celebration
showcasing Scotland as a must visit active adventure
destination.
