Find out which Scots cities they're heading to next belowAS the days get shorter and colder, there’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself up in the warmth of an old favourite film. And very little beats the cosy all-time classic The Muppet Christmas Carol. Arguably the best, or at least the most entertaining, telling of the classic Charles Dickens tale, the festive flick is a Christmas essential.

AS my partner Katie and I watched the sun slowly set behind the crest of the majestic Cairngorm peaks from our outdoor hot tub, it was hard not to be blown away by the moment. After a drive through a long winding single track road, filled with blind summits and narrow turns, we’d arrived at our destination and what a place it was. Just a couple of hours from Glasgow and a few miles north of the small town of Kirriemuir, Angus, sits the stunning Glen Clova hotel.

On a glorious summer afternoon in Thomastown last Saturday, Thomastown won the bragging rights of near neighbours as they fought off a strong Bennettsbridge fightback to make it two wins from two in The Senior League. The early exchanges were even with the teams level at 0-4 apiece after ten minutes.

As the crowd packs its way through the historic buildings and up the cobbles on a typically grey Edinburgh day, there’s already excitement in the air. Fresh from a spectacular run of festivals including a memorable Glastonbury second stage headline performance it very much feels like The National are at the top of their game right now. If you’ve somehow managed to miss out on arguably one of the most significant indie rock bands of the last decade, then do yourself a favour and catch up.

LYING in what had to be the largest bath I’ve ever seen, with a glass champagne, I thought  — can it get much better than this? The answer was no — not when I was cocooned in luxury at Rocpool Reserve, a striking and lovingly restored Georgian mansion in Inverness, with stunning views of the River Ness. After a wet and windy drive up the A9, my partner Katie and I stepped through the door and instantly felt welcomed by the  lovely staff who guided us to our suite, handily located next to the bar.
