SCOTTISH TOURIST TREAT: With apt
Celtic bravado, Undiscovered Scotland proclaims itself to be the ultimate online guide. And it
certainly appears comprehensive: clicking on the interactive map leads you to helpfully
illustrated, in-depth features seemingly about Scotland’s every nook - perfect for learning
the history of Haroldswick (named after King Harald of Norway, whose fleet landed at this northerly
tip of the Shetland Islands in AD875) or simply finding a wee dram in Edinburgh, and not too
surprisingly, there are many choices. The site’s primary function, however, is to signpost
local businesses and accommodation, but features - including colourful biographies of historical
figures such as Rob Roy MacGregor, a guide to distilling malt whisky and recipes for delicacies
such as Rumbledethumps (Scottish bubble and squeak, made from potato, cabbage and cheese) - ensure
wider appeal. Staring at the green tartan background for too long may induce something resembling a
Laphroaig hangover, but, with a resource like this, Scotland won’t remain undiscovered for
long.
