The Herald is proud to bring our readers some of the best feature writing in Scotland and beyond.
This week, our writers have dipped their toes into a wide selection of topics, from floating chip shops, Inspiral Carpets, Antarctic adventures and wines from the Napa valley.
Ema Sabljak spoke to adventurer Mollie Hughes about her desire to see Scotland become a mecca of outdoor adventure within Europe.
We also told the story of one of Scotland's most unique tourists attractions, McMonagle's Boat, as it approaches 30 years cooking up a storm for locals in Clydebank.
While Gaby McKay spoke to Inspiral Carpets' Clint Boon ahead of a UK tour next month and new singles collection.
Staying on the music front, Robert McNeil wrote about how The Sensational Alex Harvey Band more than lived up to the 'sensational' tag.
We also had drinks writer Gerard Richardson write about how Cabernet may be the king of grapes but it’s also the king of prices.

Why are you making commenting on HeraldScotland 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
