THE days are growing longer and although the arrival of Spring is still a few weeks away, we can all let a little more light into our lives in February by making exciting plans for the year ahead.
In this special edition of Best of Scotland (click here to read for free) - brought to you in association with Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the public body responsible for promoting the Gaelic language – we lend a helping hand to readers who are looking for inspiration for occasions to mark in their 2023 calendars, highlighting an exciting selection of top attractions and events taking place across the country.
Of course, it’s February – so before embarking upon any outings or adventures, there’s still special memories to make with Valentine’s Day and Burns Night – and within these pages you’ll discover a number of wonderful ways to mark these special occasions with your loved ones.
Elsewhere, we focus on Scottish seafood in all its delicious forms with chefs and suppliers providing expert advice on how to enjoy it, while globally-acclaimed Scots writer and poet Don Paterson gives us an insight into his personal passions.
So sit back, relax and let us once again be your guide to experiencing the very Best of Scotland.
See you next month.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
