Danni Menzies - Why my heart will always be in Scotland
28.10.2022 - 18:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
With every visit home, I realise just how blessed I am to come from such a beautiful country. Memories of trips make me smile and to mark Scotland’s Year of Stories I’m planning island escapes.
My first adventure was a school trip to Mull. The night before, I was so excited I hardly slept a wink! From then on, I knew exploring and travelling was going to be a big part of my life.
Before we even got on the ferry it was thrilling – Oban seemed like such a big place compared to Kenmore, Perthshire where I grew up. Having travelled the world since then, that feels like a funny thing to write – but my heart will always be in Scotland. On the ferry, the scenery was stunning.
It’s just a 45-minute trip, but Mull felt a million miles away. What a fabulous place to disconnect – something we all need to do at times.
The highlight was visiting Tobermory: a beautiful fishing village, with colourful houses, distillery, and lovely shops. Years later when my little sister Mia came along, that song would haunt me. You know the one: What’s the story in Balamory…
The composer Mendelssohn was also inspired to write his Hebrides Overture when he visited Fingal’s Cave on nearby Staffa.
For the most beautiful beach on the island, Calgary is the place to head to. A friend visited a restaurant there recently where the menu showed the “food miles” – from half a mile down the road. I love that.
This is Scotland’s Year of Stories, so why not plan an island adventure to create stories of your own? From icons of literature to local tales, Scotland’s Year of Stories encourages everyone to explore the places, people and cultures connected to all forms of our stories, past and present.
