Travel Back in Time With the Alford Valley Railway
The expanding British railway network reached the town of Alford in 1859, and as it had for many small towns and villages in the country, the railway brought hope, expansion and prosperity. Cuts to the British railways in 1965, led to the Alford Valley Railway being closed down in 1966. With the closure, came the end of an era, and the railway lay dormant in Alford for many years. But a group of volunteers were patiently biding their time, to breathe new life into the railway and to transform it into an interactive exhibit and historical attraction in Scotland.

Adventures Galore in Galloway Forest Park
Galloway Forest Park covers an area of approximately three hundred square miles, and is a rugged landscape filled with magnificent mountains such as Mullwharcher, Rhinns of Kells, Dungeon, Icy Hand and The Merrick. Its endless hills and open ranges, blanketed by conifers and lush vegetation, make it hard to believe that such a picturesque part of Scotland could have been witness to historical battles and bloodshed.

Mackintosh House of the Art Lover
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was one of the most talented and respected architects of Glasgow, Scotland. His designs are still studied and admired today, as he seemed to have a unique vision in each of his creations and a passion for bringing spectacular buildings to life. In 1901, Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald, were given the opportunity to design without limits and create a house without predetermined specifications. Margaret, a masterful decorative artist, enjoyed the opportunity to work with her husband and create a house for a German magazine competition, called the House of the Art Lover.
