IT’S all about getting out and about in this issue of Best of Scotland, breathing in the fresh air and great outdoors after months of lockdown.
We head for the west coast and Oban, the seafood capital of Scotland, to experience one our most popular towns – perfect for a daytrip or a base for exploring further afield.
Of course, we’re all talking about ‘staycations’ so we check out some of the best rural farm locations where you’ll find quirky accommodation – often next door to the animals!
And now that we’re able to venture further afield from tomorrow, we check out some of the outdoor activities that will help us revive our bodies and minds – from paddleboarding and whitewater rafting to canyoning and even walking with an alpaca!
We also jump in our Tardis to travel back in time to historic locations such as Skara Brae, the Callanish Standing Stores and Iona Abbey.
Meanwhile, in Glasgow, Paul Trainer speaks to husband-and-wife team Danny and Sally O’Sullivan whose Kimchi Cult café in the west end has introduced the city to Korean street food.
There’s a real sense of optimism in the air as we emerge from lockdown and start thinking about better times – what a feeling!

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
