‘Hi, my name is Robin McKelvie, a travel writer, photographer and broadcaster since 1997 and a very passionate native Scot. I love my country, whether it be the world famous, but still spectacular, side of whisky, mountains and castles, or the less known world class mountain biking, 800+ islands and the wee unheralded towns and villages that make this country so special. In these blogs I am going to be letting you in all the secrets, giving you plenty of travel ideas and inspiration and basically firing out to you weekly updates on what is happening here and why you should come, return or just explore your own country if you already live here. Over the year I make 15-20 trips to all corners of Scotland so you are getting it straight from the hairy coo’s mouth. I am an independent travel writer, author of National Geographic Scotland, as well as a flurry of other guides and newspaper and magazine articles om Scotland. I love what Welcome to Scotland do and they are for me the best Scottish travel website around, so check out their Welcome to Scotland website and sign up too for regular updates and you can enjoy my blogs.’
