If you had just 24 hours in Scotland where would you go?

Add in teleportation, time travel and even the magic of pausing time you can conjure up the day of your dreams.

That is what Our Scotland is all about, highlighting the places and people that are memorable.

My name is Alison Fraser and I’m on a quest to discover as much of Scotland as possible.

In this episode I’m joined by award-winning travel blogger Gemma Armit from Everything Edinburgh, Two Scots Abroad and Hiya Scotland.

Everything Edinburgh, is a a digital resource for locals and visitors and is hyper-focused on areas, things to do, accommodation, food, and activities by season.

Hiya Scotland is a Scotland wide travel planning blog where you can get personal recommendations and join Gemma’s community to plan your trips.
