Hats off to The Scotsman for coming up with probably the best travel related April Fool’s story yesterday. For those of you who know the story already, my apologies but it is worth repeating for all those who didn’t see the news about replacing Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
The new airport, named after the Scottish hero, William Wallace, would be sited near Stirling so that as airline passengers came into land they would get a view not only of the Wallace memorial but also the site of the Battle of Bannockburn. To gild the lily, Mel Gibson’s, he of Braveheart fame and dubious Scottish accent, voice would be used in the lifts would welcome passengers to Braveheart country.

Pack your tent and head for the countryside this Easter – camping has become cool
Cast aside any preconceptions of camping being the preserve of pensioners and hippies for in recent years this type of holiday has undergone a renaissance and shaken off its boy scouts and budget holiday image. Thanks, in part, to celebrity campers such as Sienna Miller, Jodie Kidd, Kate Moss, Jamie Oliver et al camping is now cool and it’s hip to be seen erecting a tent.
