We hope you are nearly finished with last week’s issue and ready for pastures new! Our August 22 issue hits the shelves tomorrow.
On our cover this week, Willie Shand has been following the River Findhorn through the Scottish Highlands. One of the longest rivers in Scotland, it runs for roughly 65 miles.
Willie visited Dulsie Bridge, which the river runs under at what Willie considers its most picturesque point. Willie is not the only fan of Dulsie Bridge, in his feature he reflects on Robert Burns’ visit to the spot during his Highland tour in 1787.
