TO TOTALLY
ENJOY THE BEST OF THE HIGHLANDS IN 2007, MCLEAN SCOTLAND
HAVE
DESIGNED TOURS OF VARYING LENGTHS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM
IN DIFFERENT MONTHS OF THE YEAR.
Among some of the highlights of 2007; the
world-renowned impresario, Sir Cameron MackIntosh will
stage his musical, Miss Saigon,
in the re-vamped Eden Court Theatre in Inverness.
Inverness will host World
Championship Highland Games and A Tattoo
will have a highland theme; a new visitor centre at Culloden
Battlefield is being designed by the acclaimed
American, Ralph Appelbaum. Also a Clan
Gathering at Culloden Battlefield - can you
really miss that?
The above is just a wee taster
for what will be the biggest celebration of Highland
culture the world has seen. Don’t miss it. The aim
of Highland 2007 is to promote the Highlands as a
great place to live and visit, by showcasing the unique
and special nature of Highland culture in the past,
present and future. Highland 2007 will create a
year-long programme of events and projects that builds
upon and develops the cultural of the Highlands.
The Highland landscape – the rough-hewn
mountains, sweeping glens, peat-dark waters and white
sand beaches; the soft mists and dazzling sunlight, the
wide open spaces rich in wildlife and dotted with
close-knit communities. Much of the detail of the
programme of events for Highland 2007 is currently being
confirmed and news about this will be appearing on a
regular basis over the next few months.
The
Highlands are one of Scotland's most precious assets.
They are romantic, impressive and very, very beautiful.
No wonder the Highlands are so famous and have been
chosen as location for numerous movies including
Highlander and Braveheart. One can only appreciate their
beauty if they actually see them. The Highlands are
the oldest mountains in Europe. Even on misty or
rainy days the Highlands preserve their charm but they
also stir sadness and nostalgia. Seen from an airplane
or a helicopter makes you realise how massive they
really are. The best of Scottish traditions and
culture comes from the Highlands: the Highlands Games
originally a way to train when the English forbade them
to use weapons, Highland Sword dance and Scottish music.
The Highlanders were the ones to preserve most the raw
Gaelic culture through language, feeling and music.
One of the less fortunate times in the social history of
the Highlands is the Highland Clearances period. Many
highland families were living on small plots of land.
The landowners however drove them off their land to make
way for the grazing of thousands of sheep. The people
had no choice but to emigrate to Canada or America. This
explains how it came to be that many places around the
world have Scottish names. The Highland Clearance was
not as massive as the emigration of the Irish but it was
enough to spread the Scottish culture around the world,
especially the music. Many people come back to the bare
and now empty Highlands to find their roots and learn
about their ancestors' way of living.
