Do great people really need magnificent monuments?

If you know who this is, name one of his works that no one else has mentioned in a comment 😊.

What’s the story near Tobermory?

A scenic drive, magnificent beach, triple waterfall and enchanting little museum with tea room, all this and more within a hop, skip & a jump from your hotel in Tobermory.

One of our highlights of this short but fascinating route lies withing the 'Old Byre Heritage Centre'. Here Nick Hesketh has created over 20 fantastic models depicting the Isle of Mull and its people through the ages. The history of each model and what it represents is there to read along with information on the Flora, Fauna and Geology of the island.

The Isle of Mull easily competes with Skye for its natural beauty and heritage, but with one major difference. On Mull you often find yourself in a phenomenal otherworldly place, but alone without any other visitors.

In todays world of travel and information having time alone at a magnificent attraction may seen difficult, but can still be achieved if you know where to find these Little Treasures.

Edward II of England asked, "Are they praying for my mercy?"... "No," came the reply. Then the Scots unleashed their hell and fury upon him and his army.

One of the most significant moments in Scottish history was the The Battle of Bannockburn, over the 23rd & 24th of June, 1314.

In the location where the visitor centre now sits it is believed King Robert the Bruce made his camp, and one Little Treasure within is the remains of the Borestone.

The Borestone was thought to be an old millstone where Robert the Bruce planted his Royal standard in the location close to the present-day flag, now marked by a letter 'B'.

An iron grill was placed over it as Victorian tourist had taken to chipping off pieces as souvenirs, then in 2014, the remaining bits were moved into the visitor centre protected for future generations to enjoy.

The Battle of Bannockburn is a favorite story of ours while on tour and there are many shorter more personal stories intwined within this epic period.

A tour can bring many pleasures and surprises.

We are touring Scotland again with the author Megan Maxwell and remembering the tour of 2019 which had inspiration for one of her books.

In this book Megan used Carolina and I as the main characters, something I would never have imagined would happen.

Above all they are a delightful family and we again get the chance to share the Scottish storytelling tradition with a professional storyteller.

Flowers of June.

Here are a selection of Scotland's flowers photographed in the wild last week while on tour 💐 😊.

They may not all be native, but every one of them are a thing of beauty.

The Silver Casket

A gift to Mary Queen of Scots that went on to seal her fate.

This luxurious French box of the late 15th century was gifted to and used by Queen of Scots. It is thought to have held ‘under lock and key’ some of her most precious items, and intimate letters.

The casket would have been close to Mary while she enjoyed the fabulous French court, throughout her time as Queen of France, during the grief of losing both her husband and mother aged only 18, on her journey back to Scotland and when she reached out to her cousin 'Queen Elizabeth' of England.

It is the finest French casket of this period known to exist, but the remarkable beauty does not compare with its Historical significance.

In 1568, this very casket, was brought to a hearing against Mary, where letters were produced from it implicating the Queen of Scot’s as being involved in her second husband ‘Lord Darnley’s’ murder and proving her affair at the time with her third husband ‘Lord Bothwell’.

The contents of this fine silver box had now sealed the fate of Mary Queen of Scot’s, allowing Elizabeth to imprison Mary in England for the rest of her life. Mary denied that she wrote the letters and was not permitted to see them herself.

The casket is on display at the Stirling Smith Museum in Stirling which is free to enter and holds many more items of Scottish & Worldwide significance.

Do not let rain showers or midges spoil a tour.

At 'Little Scottish Treasures' we and our guides have the knowledge and flexibility to ammend an itinerary to suit any situation at any moment.

Also, without rain, we wouldn't experience the magic of rainbows.

An amazing view and an unfortunate incident.

The first picture is the view from the loft at Skye Skyns, Isle Of Skye, If I had the time and the permission, I would wrap myself in a soft sheepskin, sit in front of this window with a book and spend eternity in happiness.

The second picture is a rather disappointing one. This was taken at the Quiraing and although we are sure that the people mentioned on the painted stones are sadly missed, the memorial does not belong here. It may encourage others to do the same and before we know it we will have the same problem as European countries have with padlocks on bridges. We are aware that it will quite rightly be removed and discarded soon, erasing the hard work and love of the people who placed it here.

Enjoy Scotland and its natural beauty... please do not leave coins at the Fairy Glen, lovelocks at the Meeting of the 3 Waters, Stacks of rocks anywhere, or be tempted to rub Bobby's nose ❤️.

Most of today was spent with furry friends.

Either lounging around in the sun, enjoying a spot of grooming or simply loving the Highland way of life.

This year where possible and when time allows, we will be getting to know the Fold (name given to a heard of Highland coo) a bit better 😊
