The Loch Druidibeg National Nature Reserve (South Uist):
... the early 1990s when my 4 children were between the ages of 2 and 10, we began a journey which was to be the most exciting we have ever made to a place where we were to return to time and time again. The memories of the landscape, together with the images I have in my mind of the children, as they lived their holiday dreams in a safe and beautiful environment, will remain with me always. We travelled to The Outer... Read the full review: A Place of Absolute Peace. by Machair1 |

Ring of Brodgar (Orkney) ... Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle thought to have been erected between 2500BC and 200BC on the mainland island of Orkney and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Apparently henges (that is the circular flat area and surrounding bank/ditch) do not usually have stone circles in them and therefore this site along with Stonehenge are anomalies. Unfortunately because of the prominence of Stonehenge and the fact that a flat circular bit of land from Neolithic times doesn t really look like much, the unusualness of the site is rather overlooked as people flock to see yet another stone circle. Of the probable original 60 stones, 27 remain in a huge ci... Read the full review: Ring of Brodgar. by llamass |

Osborne House ... House and its 342 acre estate were purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845 as a country residence. Situated in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, overlooking Portsmouth harbour it is easy to see the attraction. Architect Thomas Cubitt was given the task of rebuilding and adding to the house and complete with its towers it dominates the landscape. They enjoyed many happy times until Alberts death in 1861 aged just 42. Victoria died at the house in 1901. The interior is stunning and though you can pay to just explore the gardens I would reccomend the full tour including the interior of the house as well. Guided tours can be booked from November to...

Osborne House ... House is set in East Cowes and it is understandable why Queen Victoria and Prince Albert chose the area. Prince Albert planned and built Osborne House (so I’m told). It is very striking and it is set at the top of a steep hill overlooking the bay. One of the things I noticed while wandering along the large corridors, was how so many things represented a Roman Villa. I also notice how many unclothed statues there were. One of the statues shows Albert as Roman General. Everyone has a favourite era, and I believe his may have been the Roman age. Queen Victoria was fond of dogs; they had plenty of space to run around in anyway. One of her dogs wa... Read the full review: Osbourne House, a visit to the past. by topp99 |
