Hello folks. I’d like to recommend the very excellent Scotland Outdoors magazine to you and not only because I have an article in the current winter issue on – guess what – walking the west coast of Jura. Scotland Outdoors is an excellent publication and it’s not only me who thinks this, as Richard Rowe and his team have just scooped the PPA Scotland Best Small Publishing Company Magazine Award at the Scottish Magazine Awards for the second year running .

Scotland Outdoors is a triumph of style and content: beautifully presented, with well-researched and engagingly written articles, illustrated with top-notch photography. What also makes Scotland Outdoors stand out from the ‘outdoors’ magazine crowd is their focus on conservation issues as well as the adventure aspect of outdoor pursuits in Scotland. Furthermore, where other magazines can seem a bit preoccupied with ‘kit reviews’, their content often buried under an avalanche of  ‘outdoor gear’ advertising, Scotland Outdoors is more concerned with experiencing The Great Scottish Outdoors. Visit their site where you can download pdf files of articles from the current and back issues as a taster of what they have to offer.
