Isle of Rum Welcomes New Visitor Services Manager Elle Duffy

Scotland's Highlands and islands are experiencing a blend of tradition and modernity, with regions like Inverness embracing growth and new cultural identities beyond their historical roots in whisky and folklore. The area's dramatic history, such as the Highland Clearances, still influences the landscape, while cities like Inverness attract visitors for both their heritage and evolving urban experiences. Community events, such as the Kilmacolm Dramatic Society's staging of 'Whisky Galore,' highlight local engagement and the enduring significance of whisky in Scottish culture. Meanwhile, on the remote Isle of Rum, newcomers like Elle Duffy showcase the island's natural beauty, wildlife, and tight-knit community through eco-friendly tourism and local crafts. These developments reflect how Scotland's rural and urban areas are balancing historical preservation with contemporary vibrancy, offering diverse attractions for residents and visitors alike.
