Now that summer is almost upon us, it is time to start thinking about the summer holidays.
With the cost of living crisis affecting household budgets across the country, many will be unable to afford overseas trips. That's fine though, as Scotland has so much to see and do that it makes for the perfect staycation spot.
If you're a music fan, you might want to consider heading to Orkney later this month for the Orkney Folk Festival. Held between May 25 and May 28, it is one of the most beloved festivals of its kind across the UK — if not further — and this year marks its 40th anniversary.
According to the festival's website, it had small beginnings when it was first formed in 1983. Back then, the summer tourist season on the archipelago was shrinking and folk and traditional music was seen as "unfashionable" — so the Orkney Tourist Board and BBC Radio Orkney brought together the first Orkney Folk Festival committee in 1982.

Among the highlights of the lineup this year are globally-renowned Scottish folk group Capercaillie, as well as Hot Club of Cowtown, Eric Wright, Mairi Rankin, Mo Kenney, Breabach, Spiers & Boden, and the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc.
Since its beginning, one of the main draws of the Orkney Folk Festival has been its inclusion of artists from all over the world. It has become a desirable stage for international acts and a great opportunity for visitors to experience

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Twists and turns, double-dealing and death are just some of the themes at the heart of HBO’s fourth and final season of “Succession.” With that, composer Nicholas Britell has released a 25-piece original soundtrack that accompanied the season, which will drop at midnight after Sunday’s series finale. Among the cues are: “Phone Call,” the music piece that plays in the shocking third episode “Connor’s Wedding” as the Roy children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong,) Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) learn that family patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) has died aboard the Waystar Royco plane, where Logan was flying with his executive team to Sweden.

During the music ceremony, the “Jealous” singer joined fellow country-pop star Kelsea Ballerini for a live performance of her 2015 song “Peter Pan”.

An English lieutenant, an American cowboy, and a mixed-race Chilean sheepherder venture into the inhospitable limits of the Tierra de Fuego region at the southernmost tip of the South American continent—the ends of the Earth, some might call it. Under the orders of their employer, landowner José Menéndez (the always masterful Alfredo Castro), the trio’s mission is to savagely murder as many Indigenous people as they encounter in their path.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Taking a cue from the movie’s soon-to-be-infamous spanking scene between Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, someone ought to paddle whoever let Martin Scorsese take three and a half hours to retell “Killers of the Flower Moon.” You could read David Grann’s page-turner — about an audacious 1920s conspiracy to steal resources from the Osage people by marriage and murder — in less time, and you’d learn a whole lot more about how J. Edgar Hoover and the newly formed FBI used this case to establish their place in American law enforcement. Granted, this is cinema legend Martin Scorsese we’re talking about. For years, he fought studio execs telling him what to cut, going head-to-head with Harvey Weinstein on “Gangs of New York” (a movie that probably would’ve been better longer). Now he’s earned the right to tell stories as he sees fit. Trouble is, at 206 minutes (still four shorter than “The Irishman”), “Killers of the Flower Moon” isn’t an epic motion picture so much as a miniseries. Nothing wrong with that, except it’s intended for the big screen — where Apple has committed to release it this fall. Closer to two hours, “Killers” would make a killing, whereas longer than “The Longest Day,” most folks will wait to watch at home.
