Dornoch to Embo
The little village of Embo lies just a few miles north of Dornoch on the road to Loch Fleet. There has been a settlement at this location since at least the Bronze Age - a fine example of a burial cairn can be seen in the centre of the village at the entrance to the caravan park.
Embo was formerly a fishing village, as can be seen from the lanes and rows of little cottages that run in parallel down to the beach. However, nowadays the village is a centre for tourism with families attracted by the long, clean, sandy beaches.

UK: SCOTLAND: WHISKY UNDERGOING DRAMATIC IMAGE CHANGE
English/Nat
Scottish Whisky, long associated with tweed jackets and hip flasks, is undergoing a dramatic image change.
In the trendiest bars in Europe, it is now considered among the most chic of drinks.
With the festive season upon us, Scottish distilleries are working overtime to meet the growing export demand.
A-P-T-V visited the Glengoyne Distillery to see how the whisky is distilled.
At the Glengoyne Distillery in the southern Highlands of Scotland, staff are working overtime to meet the demands for Christmas spirit.
Eighty-five percent of Glengoyne's sales are in export, a figure that's increasing as drinkers in America, Europe and Asia turn to traditional single malts.
Whisky sales in the U-K had been falling, with the traditional Scotch tipple suffering something of an image problem.
Ten years ago, it seemed whisky drinking was for hip-flask-toting gentlemen in tweed jackets.
But that has all changed.
Not only have sales of single malts grown by almost 60 per cent, they have also shaken off their old-fashioned image.
Whisky is now THE chic drink in southern and eastern Europe, with Spain providing the third biggest overseas market after the U-S and France.
Export now makes up 85 per cent of all Scotch whisky sales, with annual export earnings exceeding 2.2 (b) billion pounds (exceeding three and a half (b) billion U-S dollars).
SOUNDBITE: (English)
In some markets it is very trendy. I'm thinking of markets like Spain for example where we promote very vigorously to the younger drinker in a variety of ways. We promote in cinemas for example, I don't just mean cinema advertising, but Spain, France, Italy, they are markets where Scotch whisky is regarded as a prestige product, an aspirational product and where young people in particular want to buy into it.

And Scotland's distilleries are bracing themselves for further rises in sales among the lucrative younger end of the market with some malts now becoming as fashionable as flavoured vodkas and bottled beers.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
There is great opportunity for new markets to develop overseas. In terms of Scotch whisky generally, we see growth in China, we see growth coming in India, we see growth coming in Eastern Europe. Those are going to be blended markets to start with. But they're going to also be experiencing malt whisky, as indeed are places like South America, Brazil. There's increasing interest in malt whisky in Brazil and other parts so there's a lot of growth yet to come.

And the Scotch Whisky Association has a word of advice for newcomers to whisky drinking.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
They are there to be sipped savoured and enjoyed they are not there to be thrown down the throat. If it has sat in the cask for ten years or more you need to spend a few seconds or even a few minutes putting it on the tongue, tasting it and enjoying it over time.

Visitors to Edinburgh's Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre agree that single malt drinking is fast becoming one of their favourite hobbies.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It's some kind of, you say, trend in Sweden now to drink whisky and to drink quality, good whisky.
SUPERCAPTION: Sara Degerment Sidou, Swedish tourist
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It is the best. I think the whisky is from Scotland, that's why. It is the original.
SUPERCAPTION: Arley Valencia, Spanish tourist
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Dating back so long. Clans having their own whiskies and whatever I think it's probably quite trendy to be seen to drink it.

DBC '66 #66107 Taking the Hartlepool - G'mas Pipes North / 23rd May, 2018.
Well.......THAT wasn't worth it ;)
0300 start.
The plan: Invershin/Climb to Lairg Summit/Brora/Kildonan-Kinbrace/Forsinard.
The reality: Had to drive back to get forgotten mic/Car low on fuel/Tain had no fuel/Brora did, but I'd not seen that on the way South(!)/Train late/Had to get home by 0730/Had to work..
Nearly gave up at Brora, but saw on RTT it had left (I'd just seen it at a stand in the station), so I managed ONE hand-held shot!
Note to self: All further train pursuits to be carried out on days off, with no other deadlines ;)
Still, nice to see the Pipes back on! The first of 50+ trips, I've been told :)

Description: Duke of Sutherland is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom which was created by William IV in 1833 for George Leveson-Gower, 2nd Marquess of Stafford. A series of marriages to heiresses by members of the Leveson-Gower family made the Dukes of Sutherland one of the richest landowning families in the United Kingdom. The title remained in the Leveson-Gower family until the death of the 5th Duke of Sutherland in 1963, when it passed to John Egerton, 5th Earl of Ellesmere. The subsidiary titles of the Duke of Sutherland are: Marquess of Stafford , Earl Gower , Earl of Ellesmere, of Ellesmere in the County of Shropshire , Viscount Trentham, of Trentham in the County of Stafford , Viscount Brackley, of Brackley in the County of Northampton , and Baron Gower, of Sittenham in the County of York . The marquessate of Stafford, the earldom of Gower and the viscounty of Trentham are in the Peerage of Great Britain, the dukedom, the earldom of Ellesmere and the viscounty of Brackley in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and the barony of Gower in the Peerage of England. The Duke is also a Baronet, of Sittenham in the County of York, a title created in the Baronetage of England in 1620. Between 1839 and 1963 the Dukes also held the titles of Lord Strathnaver and Earl of Sutherland, both in the Peerage of Scotland. The Scottish titles came into the family through the marriage of the first Duke to Elizabeth Sutherland, 19th Countess of Sutherland.

Tornado Steams Into Dumfries
LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado visited Dumfries, in Scotland, on Saturday 27th June 2015. This locomotive was built by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and entered service in 2009. It was the first steam locomotive to be built in the UK since British Railways built Evening Star in 1960.
THURSO STATION
A topical film from our archive of a tour train that visited Thurso Station in late summer 2007. The station buildings were built by my great-great grandfather, George Manson of Whitefield, Murkle so the place has a special appeal for Picture House Cinema. Seen in this film are engines, Defience (50049) and East Lancashire Railway (40145) hauling mixed livery stock to Thurso, the most nerthernly station on the U.K network. You will no doubt enjoy the sound of the Class 40 starting up.
