By Jupiter! It's wild in Grangemouth!
Right in the middle of Europe's biggest petro-chemical complex, there's a garden. It's a weird contrast, stumbling across the Jupiter Urban Wildlife Centre, a little slice of green under the belching shadow of (more)
Finlaystone House and Grounds
Finlaystone is a wonderful old house just off the M8 at Langbank. It's a great place to take the kids at the weekend because they always seem to have something laid on for them, at least in the spring and summer months. (more)
Dolphin spotting in the Forth
If you take the Maid of the Forth trip to Inchcolm Island, there's a reasonable chance that as well as amazing views of the Forth Bridges, you might spot some dolphins. You're more likely to see seals, and you'll (more)
Down among the dead men
Spooky. Gothic. Romantic. Glasgow's Necropolis is Scotland's answer to Pere Lachaise, the Parisian resting place of Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde. In fact, it was modelled on the French cemetery in the 19th century as a (more)
Climb Dumyat
A good introduction to hill-walking for anyone who's unsure about the whole thing is to head up Dumyat (Dum-aye-at)in the Ochils. It's at the Western end of the range and is a bit of a postcard favourite - you usually (more)
Walking in Chatelherault
Chatelherault near Hamilton is a great place to go for an easy walk suitable for most abilities. When we went (Hogmanay 2009) there was snow on the ground making the steeper paths very slippery and difficult, and one of (more)
Real Old Fashioned Street
Did you know there's a whole old-fashioned street in the People's Palace? It's got cobbles and old shops like we had when I was a boy. Everyone should go and see this - it's a record of a better time.
Ghost hunting at Glamis
The Queen Mother was brought up there and Princess Margaret born there, but did you know that Glamis Castle is even more famous for its ghosts? It's supposed to be the most-haunted building in the UK, and there are (more)
Do lunch and shop in Pollokshields
Pollokshields has a great cafe culture, with almost too-many places to choose between....Ikafe (mmm, soup!), Mise-en-Place and Moyra Janes are situated near some great niche shops too. Floral Haven is not to be missed. (more)
Art in the heart of the city
There have always been some pretty good galleries and other arty places to hang out round about King Street and Trongate in Glasgow, but now there's Trongate 103 bringing them all together. It's a conversion of an old (more)
Take a walk to Doon Castle
No, not Doune Castle of Holy Grail fame - that's in Stirlingshire. If you're planning an afternoon running around shouting "It's only a scratch" and "I blow my nose at you!" then you're in the wrong place. This one's (more)
Glasgow Women's Library is a hidden gem of the city
Nearly every day I hear the words, "Why have I never heard about this place before?" and I wonder to myself - why indeed? Glasgow Women's Library is so much more than a library, holding events such as writers evenings, (more)
Walk up Calton Hill
A walk up Calton Hill can be a peaceful break in the heart of the city. It's often not too busy, and it's nice to sit at the bottom of Edinburgh's Folly and look out over the city.
Climbing the wall
It's more of an adventure centre than just for the mountaineers. The Ratho climbing arena is built in an old quarry, and is the largest in the world. But there's much more than just climbing the wall all day - there are (more)
Follow the Mackintosh Trail
One of the best ways to spend a day (or more) is to follow in the footsteps of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Most of the buildings are in Glasgow city centre, including the former Herald offices at The Lighthouse and the (more)
Evol - for people who love music
Evol is an Edinburgh institution and is the City's longest running and most popular indie/alternative night. With the usual mix of the best current and classic alternative and crossover tunes you are guaranteed to dance (more)
Scottish country dancing for Scots
Where's the best place to kick up your heels after work? The Sloans ceilidh is becoming a bit of a Friday night institution for me and my mates. The band "Chitterybite" are brilliant and always get the crowd going. (more)
See a pink-footed goose!
Come September/October and the pink-footed geese are back at the Montrose Basin Wildlife Centre, and they'll be there for the winter. More than 1% of the world's population of this bird winters here. There are also mute (more)
A trip round Ailsa Craig
You can take a boat trip round Ailsa Craig from either Girvan down in Ayrshire or from Campbeltown. The granite island is 9 miles off the coast and more than 1000 feet high, and is home to the third largest colony of (more)
Firkin Point
Firkin Point is a great wee place to stop on the west side of Loch Lomond, about halfway up, north of Inverbeg. There's good car parking, a wee picnic area, and you can walk on good even surfaces suitable for pushchairs (more)
Aberdeenshire Farming Museum
Great for kids. Find out about our rural past in the Weel Vrocht Grund exhibition and look round the big, semi-circular steading. You can see how people used to live and work with costumed tours and watch traditional (more)
Idyllic Dunkeld
One of my favourite places to go is Dunkeld. It's a beautiful little village that time forgot, and the grounds of the Cathedral, sloping down to the river are a wonderful place to go on a sunny day.
Great coffee and kids activities!
I love the coffee in Tapa, it is the BEST in the city. Plus, the homemade cakes and bread are amazing....and my wee one thinks the same! She also loves going on a Tuesday morning for the painting session (more)
A priory on an island in a lake
Kids love the short boat trip to Inchmahome Priory in the middle of Lake of Menteith. The priory is famous as one of the hiding places of the infant Mary Queen of Scots, and was also visited by Robert the Bruce on a few (more)
Eastwood Park
When people talk about southside parks, it's always about Rouken Glen. Well Eastwood Park just across the road is worth visiting, too. OK, it's not as big as its neighbour, but it still has its grand house, and it's home (more)
Creative Heaven for Kids!
We love Busy Bees and visit regularly with our three children aged between 3 and 8. They have lots of things to choose from, not just ceramics but wooden other things too. Prices are very reasonable compared to other (more)
Visit the Da Vinci Code church near Edinburgh
Did you know that part of the Da Vinci Code was filmed in Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh? Author Dan Brown thinks that the strange carvings on the chapel walls form part of the trail to find the Holy Grail!
