The Year of Creative Scotland!

This week on the travel show - the beautiful landscapes of Scotland. Landscapes that have inspired the new Pixar Movie “Brave” - and stimulated musicians and artists over the centuries.

This is the “Year of Creative Scotland”, so visitors can enjoy year round cultural events and festivals that showcase Scotland's world-class arts, culture and creative scene. Plus they can meet the friendly, genuine and truly talented artists and musicians who are part of communities across Scotland.

During the show we will go on a journey from the very Northern tip to the South of “Creative Scotland”. We’ll meet Sheila Fleet – a jewelry maker whose work reflects the rugged beauty of the Orkney Islands.

Ross Ainslie is a talented young musician who plays his bagpipes as he hikes the Perthshire hills. Ross plays traditional Scottish instruments but has a very diverse range of musical interests and plays in bands with influences everywhere from Ireland to India!

And Hazel Campbell is an artist in Dumfries and Galloway who shares the landscape through painting classes for visitors. Hazel lives in Kirkcudbright - known as ‘the artists’ town’ because it inspires so much creativity.
