Family-run caravan park near Edinburgh named best in Scotland
Linwater Caravan Park, located in the village of Newbridge, 12 miles west of the Scottish capital, was named Best Caravan Park at the Scottish Hospitality Awards 2025, as well as receiving a runner-up position in the Hospitality Champion of the Year category. The family firm, which was founded in 1998 by the Guinan family, was recognised for its customer service and continuous investment in the park's facilities, along with its commitment to providing a consistently high-quality experience for guests. Open all year round, the holiday park offers holidaymakers pitches for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and tents, alongside a range of self-catering holiday lodges and static caravans. The site also boasts a fully equipped camper's kitchen, an onsite shop, a dog walking area, and a playpark. Linwater owner Katie Guinan said she is 'incredibly grateful' to her loyal guests and is looking forward to the future of the park. She said: 'We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award for a second year. To be recognised again by the Scottish Hospitality Awards is incredibly rewarding, especially knowing how many amazing parks we were up against. 'We're also hugely proud to have been named runners-up for the overall Hospitality Champion of the Year. 'This recognition is a true testament to the dedication and resilience of our small team, who continue to go above and beyond – especially at a time when rising business costs, including increases in employer National Insurance, have made things more challenging than ever. 'Their hard work, positivity, and commitment to providing the best guest experience is what keeps Linwater special.' She added: 'We're incredibly grateful to our loyal guests for their continued support, and we look forward to building on this success together.' In March, Linwater Caravan Park was named in this year's Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards – with the accolade given based on consistently high reviews on the travel site. The park previously announced it is set to unveil a new static caravan terrace after pouring £200,000 into the project. The family said it will transform a previously unused area into a 'stunning accommodation space,' featuring two new luxury lodges and six brand-new static caravans. A spokesperson for The Scottish Hospitality Awards 2025 added: 'We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding contributions made by individuals and businesses across Scotland's hospitality sector. 'The winners and the shortlisted nominees reflect the very best of the industry—those who go above and beyond to deliver unforgettable guest experiences. Congratulations to all on their remarkable achievements.'

Calls for private jet tax as Prestwick Airport sees surge in flights
A new investigation published on Thursday by Oxfam Scotland revealed that there were 12,143 private flights in and out of Scottish airports in 2024, with the busiest being Edinburgh, Glasgow, Prestwick and Inverness. In Prestwick alone, the number of private flights rose from 1845 in 2023 to 2437 in 2024 – an increase of 32%. The investigation also found an "alarming" spike in private flights at Prestwick which coincided with a key golfing event. In July 2024, when The Open was held at the nearly Royal Troon Golf Club, private flights at Prestwick surged by 123%. A total of 453 private jets took off or landed that month (compared to the 203 average monthly flights in 2024), equivalent to 15 flights a day. Oxfam Scotland used data on departures and landings from the Civil Aviation Authority, looking specifically at aircraft over 2.73 tonnes and excluding those from aero-clubs. While there were 768 fewer flights in 2024 than the previous year, it is slightly more than the 10-year average. The charity said that if an Air Departure Tax (ADT) had been in place – and applied at the highest possible rate – it would have generated an extra £28.8 million in tax revenue for the Scottish Government. Oxfam Scotland has been campaigning for a private jet tax like the ADT to be introduced, set to at least 10 times the existing higher rate within the UK Air Passenger Duty. The Scottish Government has previously said it is committed to introducing an ADT and that it is open to introducing a higher tax on private jets. However, progress on introducing ADT in Scotland has been delayed by an ongoing stalemate between the Scottish and UK governments. The Scottish Government owns Prestwick Airport as well as Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), which operates airports in Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick. 'All talk, no take off' Commenting on the report, Jamie Livingstone, head of Oxfam Scotland, said the Scottish Government should be "embarrass[ed] that Prestwick is being used "as a playground for the world's wealthiest polluters". He said: "For a government that's already scrapped a key climate target and diluted vital green policies, continuing to give ultra-wealth polluters an easy ride adds insult to injury. 'The First Minister says he backs landing a fair tax on pollution-spewing private jets, but so far, it's all talk, no take-off. It's time he stopped circling the issue and finally land this fair tax on those polluting Scotland's skies.' Becky Kenton-Lake, Stop Climate Chaos Scotland coalition manager, said: 'People in Scotland want our political leaders to invest in fast and fair climate action. "A Private Jet Tax would help hold the biggest polluters accountable and raise vital funds to protect us all from the damage they're causing. "Ministers have the chance to lead boldly, and Scotland is counting on them to deliver.' Meanwhile, the Scottish Greens, which have long campaigned for a private jet tax, called on the Scottish Government to "show clear leadership" and to introduce the tax at airports it owns. Ross Greer MSPScottish Greens MSP Ross Greer said: 'An obscene amount of wealth is being hoarded by a tiny number of elites who fly across the globe in their climate-wrecking private jets. 'These jets have a huge impact on our environment, and while their super-rich occupants fly between their golf courses and superyachts, it's Scottish taxpayers left paying to clean up their mess." Greer pointed towards data quoted by Oxfam Scotland which shows that private jet use is 20 times more polluting than regular commercial flights, as he said a private jet tax would "keep the super-rich and their destructive toys on the ground". He continued: 'We've waited for years for the Scottish and UK Governments to deliver the devolution of ADT in Scotland, as they agreed to do over a decade ago. 'Delays to the devolution of ADT aren't a get out of jail free card for the Scottish Government. They can introduce a charge on private jets at the dozen airports they own right now, raising cash for public services and taking action to tackle the climate emergency.' Greer reiterated calls for the Scottish Government to introduce the charge at the airports it owns during First Minister's Questions on Thursday. John Swinney told him: "I've already stated that I'm interested in the suggestion of higher tax rates on private jet flights." He added that the Scottish Government is continuing to "explore all options for implementing air departure tax", in a way which does not disproportionately affect communities in the Highlands and Islands. A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "As has previously been set out, ministers are open to the suggestion of higher rates of Air Departure Tax on private jet flights. "This will form part of the review of rates and bands undertaken prior to implementation."

The neighbouring coastal villages in the UK that have hidden beaches and even puffins you can spot from the shore
Plus, the UK beach parents say is a hidden gem where kids can go 'dinosaur-hunting' COAST ALONG The neighbouring coastal villages in the UK that have hidden beaches and even puffins you can spot from the shore Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE stretch of coast in the UK has some beautiful villages you can walk between - and even some saunas and beachfront cafes along the way. Berwickshire in Scotland is located just over the Scottish-English border and is a popular holiday destination for staycationers.

Starting at St Abb's - a small fishing village - visitors can explore a rugged harbour, complete with a tiny cafe perched just above the water. The family-run Ebbcarrs Cafe serves up fresh local seafood, homemade bakes and local ales - which can all be enjoyed whilst watching the boats bob up and down on the harbour. After enjoying a refreshing tipple, travellers can head to St Abbs visitor centre to gain amazing views across the harbour - with the waves crashing into nearby rocks. St Abb's Head is also known for its dramatic cliffs and seabird colonies. And if you are here at the right time of the year, between spring and summer, you can see the region's puffins - which come ashore to nest. During the daytime, the puffins can be seen fishing and even burrowing. The village's beach - Coldingham Bay - differs from the ruggedness of the harbour and is located a short walk away from the centre of the village. The one-kilometre sandy beach is popular with swimmers and watersports enthusiasts. And here visitors can also find a cafe set in the sand - called Beach Cafe - which boasts even more incredible views across the bay. Why Carmarthenshire makes the perfect family hol 8 Visitors can also find a cafe set in the sand - called Beach Cafe - which boasts even more incredible views across the bay 8 The stretch between St Abbs and Eyemouth takes around 10 minutes to drive, or is about an hour-and-a-half walk Credit: Alamy One recent visitor said: "We hiked across the cliffs, hillside and beaches from Eyemouth and arrived at this absolutely wonderful stopping point." To the northern end of the beach, there are also a handful of historic beach huts - whilst at the southern end visitors will find a steep, grassy area. For those who enjoy a longer walk, the Berwickshire Coastal Path crosses the beach and takes walkers to Eyemouth. Alternatively, you could head in land too and explore the ruins of Coldingham Priory, which was founded in the 11th century by King Edgar I of Scotland. And to extend your trip, you could stay at Calonia Dene - a unique triangular-shaped holiday lodge park set back from the cliffs, complete with hot tub and sauna facilities. One recent visitor said: "Me and my girlfriend have attended numerous lodge holiday's in the UK and this one is definitely the best!" In Eyemouth, there is also a Parkdean holiday park and a leisure centre, that sits just above the beach complete with a sauna for visitors and Parkdean guests to use. 8 In Eyemouth, there is also a Parkdean holiday park and a leisure centre Credit: Alamy The stretch between St Abbs and Eyemouth takes around 10 minutes to drive, or is about an hour-and-a-half walk. Other beaches nestled between the villages include Mildown Bay. Wedged between the dramatic coastal cliffs, Mildown Bay is next door to the larger Coldingham Bay. Many visitors admire this spot for its diverse ecosystem with seals and other marine creatures often spotted in the bay. Further along again, you will reach Linkim Shore - a very shallow and rocky beach that runs level with the coastal path. Before hikers reach Eyemouth, they will cross Killiedraught Bay - often home to guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins, razorbills, and even dolphins. There is also a UK hidden gem beach that Brits say is 'on another level'.
