VisitScotland launches winter tourism campaign

VisitScotland launches winter tourism campaign
VisitScotland launched its new Winter White tourism campaign in Edinburgh this week.

To mark the beginning of its £1.3 million initiative to encourage more people to visit Scotland during the winter months, the tourism agency unveiled an icy glass tiara at Edinburgh Castle.

Created by Edinburgh College of Art student Julia Malle, the item was reportedly inspired by "winter itself" and the country's rugged natural scenery.

VisitScotland's 2008 Winter White campaign was the most successful yet, generating a record £63.5 million for the country's economy.

This year's promotions will feature wildlife and outdoor activities as central themes, with potential visitors being encouraged to explore the country and enjoy the experiences on offer.

Scottish tourism minister Jim Mather said: "Winter festivals, stunning seasonal scenery and homegrown Scottish traditions are all part of the innovative ways of attracting new visitors to our great country, ensuring that Scotland continues to be one of the must-visit destinations in the world.

"Tourism in Scotland can no longer be considered seasonal as the Winter White campaign is a major contributor to the Scottish tourism industry."

Fly away from rail misery

Fly away from rail misery
The last few months have seen a growing focus on the role of rail travel in today's society. While there's no doubt that the train represents a convenient way of getting around, questions persist over the ability of the rail service to cope with growing demand while keeping fares relatively inexpensive. Can flying provide a viable alternative to using the UK's railways?
