ADVENTURE seekers are being urged to visit the Outer Hebrides as part of a new campaign supported by VisitScotland.
Outer Hebrides Tourism has been awarded £15,000 as part of the VisitScotland Growth Fund to help drive a new digital media movement.
The campaign is encouraging young travellers to explore the area and discover the diverse activities on offer. It will focus on young explorers meeting island hosts who will show them their home’s amazing natural playground as well as giving an insight into island life.
Visitors can seek out the extraordinary through exciting activities on both land and sea, including, coasteering, abseiling, mountain biking, surfing, snorkelling and kayaking.
Rob McKinnon of Outer Hebrides Tourism, said: “Tourism is a key growth sector for our islands so this gives us the chance to share our message with adventure sports enthusiasts across Scotland and beyond.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
