It’s the beginning of a new week, and we’re counting down to new issue day tomorrow!
Here’s what you can look out for in our May 16 issue…
Willie Shand took a trip to Collieston, just north of Aberdeen. Previously a bustling fishing village, and at one time a prime spot for smuggling, there is a wealth of fascinating history surrounding this small seaside spot. Willie takes us back in time in his run-down of Collieston through the years.
Willie’s early morning exploration of the village allowed him glorious views of the stunning coastal location. Between the castles (one of was a source of inspiration for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”), churches and winding coastal paths, there is no end to Collieston’s beauty.

Silver Swans

Sally Jenkins made a trip to her local “Silver Swans”, a ballet class run by The Royal Academy Of Dance for mature learners. The class avoids high impact movements and jumping.
Sally discovered that anyone can learn ballet at any age, but it is certainly still a challenge. The activity keeps you both mentally and physically active, and makes the perfect hobby if you’re looking for something new.
Skincare for nature
Sally started Seilich after the birth of her daughter/Photograph by Emma Martin Photography.
We spoke to Sally Gouldstone, founder of skincare brand Seilich. Sally’s undergone a unique journey from conservation scientist to skincare supremo. And her products are just as unique: they’re made purely from what nature has to offer.
While much skincare claims to be natural, Sally explained how her products give back to nature, too, and why this is important. Find out more about Seilich in this week’s issue.
Storytellers
