SHETLAND'S HAMEFARIN Shetlanders are an independent bunch, so it's only fitting their Hamefarin (homecoming) will happen a full year after the rest of Scotland celebrated Homecoming 2009. THE TRUE TALE OF WHISKY GALORE Compton Mackenzie's comic novel of islanders liberating cases of whisky from a sunken ship in 1941 is well known and much loved, but the true tale of the SS Politician is far murkier. THE MUSIC OF ANGELS The sweet sound of music rings through the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer thanks to a company that not only makes historic harps in traditional ways, but also offers unusual harp holidays. EDINBURGH'S NEW TOWN When Edinburgh's "New Town" was freshly completed, it was a showcase of Georgian architecture, remarkable residents and graceful parks, and in some ways, it's even more beguiling today. EXPLORING SCOTLAND'S NORTH COAST The winding coast road along the northern edge of Scotland is a bit like the country itself: full of grand views and even grander stories.
