The quaint village of Fordyce in north-east Scotland features one of the country’s most fascinating ancient ruined churches, offering insight into the history of the town and area. Referred to as the Old Fordyce Church, the building is dedicated to St. Talarican (also spelled St. Tarquin) who was the first bishop of the area way back in the first century.
Glasgow is already one of Scotland’s biggest and busiest cities and every winter it gets even better. Each year thousands of people make their way to a number of carefully planned activities and shows as the countdown to Christmas begins. This year promises to be no different and family and friends can expect an exceptional program of great winter events.
Once upon a time, the city of Dundee, in Scotland, was known as one of the largest manufacturers of jute. Bustling with approximately seventy jute factories, the jute industry created thousands of much needed jobs and provided the public with a material that was considered to be vital. Its many uses made jute a popular product, but one by one the factories closed and the buildings become home to new business. Fortunately, one factory survived the closures, and became a museum to the jute industry. Just outside the centre of Dundee is the Verdant Works, where a modern public can explore the once thriving jute industry.
The picturesque burgh of Langholm lies at the confluence of the River Esk and the Ewes Water in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Known locally as “The Muckle Toon”, Langholm boasts a number of superb examples of historic architecture, set amidst some of the most beautiful scenery in South Scotland.
The charming town of Selkirk lies on the River Ettrick in the Scottish Borders. Its ancient history has been associated with a number of noteworthy people and it is in honor of one of these historical figures that the village hosts a weekend of celebration which is known as Scott’s Selkirk. During this pre-Christmas festival, which will take place on 6-7 December 2008, the town takes on an early 19th century ambiance, recalling a time when Sir Walter Scott was the presiding judge at the town’s Sheriff Court.
