Blair Drummond Safari Park

One of the most popular attractions of Scotland is the Blair Drummond Safari Park, to which I have had the pleasure of visiting last year. Although our Hotel Dunkeld was located a little further away from this attraction, we felt that it was necessary to expose our children to this very unique feature of Scotland. It is very reasonably priced and has attractions that will entertain any age.

Breathless in the Highlands

Twitching in Corby

Birding (or bird watching as it is more commonly called) is not always a tranquil activity. Sometimes it can be a hectic chase. A reported sighting of a spoon-billed sandpiper, for example, will compel many birders to drop everything to pick up the pursuit. They are often willing to travel hundreds of miles to see a rare bird. This activity, called twitching, can get extremely competitive as birders try to check species off their list.

Memorable Hotels In Austria

If you ever visit Vienna you will find some of her buildings jaw-droopingly stunning. They are old, steeped in history and maintained to the highest level. What is more, one of the buildings might in fact be the hotel you are staying in.
