I live on Arran, but the word ‘island’ makes me think of one place in particular: Harris. It’s hard to say why – especially as it is only half of the Outer Hebridean island Harris and Lewis. But I hang its standout island-ness in my mind on this: my first taste of traditional Scottish porridge.
On the Scottish Riviera, wildflowers cling to gnarly cliffs where horizontal trees pose. Coves where smugglers hid look onto mudflats that stretch to meet the sea. The region in Dumfries and Galloway boasts attractions galore, but it is also perfect for relaxation and escapism.
With a train rushing silently through the country every 12 minutes and 30-per-cent forest coverage, Switzerland has sustainable travel down pat. Here I've rounded up my favourite slow experiences for the spring, from an electricity-free valley to an ice-battery-powered hotel.
