Imaginate Festival – A Fantastic Event for Children

The arts organization, Imaginate, in Scotland, was established to enrich the lives of children up to the age of eighteen with quality productions and performances. Not only do they aim to entertain their young audiences, but to inspire, educate and hopefully encourage them to develop their own talents. Together with the support of the Bank of Scotland, the Imaginate Festival will again open a world of performing arts to the youth of Scotland.

The Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the most historical mile of cobble stone streets and buildings that can be found anywhere in the world. It is made up of side streets, namely Lawnmarket, Canongate, Castle Esplanade, Abbey Strand, Castle Hill and High Street. The mile starts at the top of Castle Rock, the Edinburgh Castle, and runs all the way down to the legendary Holyrood Abbey. With so much to explore, between browsing the eateries and small shops, the Royal Mile is the busiest tourist attraction in Edinburgh.

All Aboard the Jacobite Steam Train!

During Scotland’s summer months the Jacobite Steam Train offers passengers a memorable journey through some of the most scenic areas in Scotland on a train that has been immortalized by the popular Harry Potter films as “Hogwarts Express”. Construction of the Fort William to Mallaig extension of Scotland’s West Highland railway line was started in January 1897 and completed in April 1901 - this is the route that the Jacobite Steam Train follows.

Orienteering in the Striking Landscapes of Scotland

Orienteering is an adventure sport in which competitors make use of a magnetic compass and a map to navigate their way across diverse terrain on foot, visiting control points as indicated on the map in a pre-determined sequence. Competitors need to decide on the best route between control points in order to complete the course in the quickest time possible. This exciting and challenging sport is very popular in Scotland, a country that has an abundance of beautiful countryside which offers an endless choice of interesting terrain for orienteering courses.
