Running from the 30th September until the 15th of October, is the Highland Archaeology Festival!

A walk like the North Coast Trail would be perfect to include your trip to the Highland Archaeology Festival.
Caithness Broch Festival
Why not include the North Coast Trail on your trip when going to the Caithness Broch Festival?
Another beautiful location to explore history and heritage is Caithness. Located on the west coast of the most northerly point of Scotland, you can take part in some small scale excavations and walks at the Caithness Brochs! A Broch is only typically found in Scotland and is a stone walled structure, round in shape.
From the 13th to the 16th of October, Caithness Broch Festival is hosting two events one at Bruan Broch, the other at Thing’s Va Broch. With no experience required, why not try something new? Celebrate the Year of Heritage and History with a trip to Scotland’s north coast. Also, you can incorporate the North Coast Trail! This is a unique chance to learn more about Scottish culture.
Sherlock Holmes’ Scotland
Experience the history of one of Scotland’s most celebrated writers!
The 14th of October marks the 125-year anniversary of the first publication of the first collection of the Sherlock Holmes Adventures! As Scotland is the birthplace of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, why not come and celebrate one of the most important writers in history? ‘The Real Sherlock Holmes’ walking tours are running in Edinburgh, along with literary pub tours, to remember the man who has inspired many other writers! While exploring the capital, why not walk the Fife Coastal Path? Another way to celebrate Scottish history and truly experience the real Scotland, the Fife Coastal Path runs on the east coast! One of the short walks in Scotland you must try.
