The pretty little seaside town where Kate & Wills will enjoy next holiday - and is also filming location for cult classic TV show
As the Prince and Princess of Wales prepare to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary, all eyes are turning to a quaint Scottish island where nature, culture - and royalty - come together.
William and Kate, known in Scotland as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, will begin a two-day visit on 29 April to the Isle of Mull, the second-largest island of the Inner Hebrides.
They will begin their trip by touring the harbour town of Tobermory, famous for its vibrant, coloured buildings - which once served as a the iconic backdrop for the beloved BBC children's show, Balamory.
The visit will see the couple meeting with local communities, as well as unveiling a new Royal Foundation initiative supporting two public spaces on the island.
William and Kate, who tied the knot in Westminster Abbey on 29 April, 2011, have been sweethearts for more than two decades after meeting at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
The Isle of Mull, Scotland's fourth-largest island, is particularly special to William due to its association with the Lord of the Isles, which is one of a number of Scottish titles he inherited after his father, Charles, became King.
While the royals will no doubt be staying in one of the island's most private residences, holidaymakers hoping to explore the Isle's hidden gems can experience plush accommodation, stunning views and traditional food for a rather modest price.
From just £7, visitors can hop onboard a CalMac Ferry, which operates services from Oban, a coastal town in mainland Scotland, to Craignure on Mull.
Once there, adventurers looking for unforgettable local activities and breathtaking views can immerse themselves in whale-watching from a Staffa Tours boat or walking among the puffins on Lunga.
Don't miss the chance sip island-made whisky at Tobermory Distillery or sample award-winning Isle of Mull Cheese, crafted by the last traditional farmhouse cheesemakers in the Hebrides.
The choices are endless for those who are extra particular about accommodation, as there's a hotel, bed and breakfast and guest house to suit everyone's tastes.
For those set on clear skies with views of the stars in a secluded location, the Druimnacroish B&B, based in Dervaig, offers a luxurious escape into nature.
Priced from £110 per night, the traditional stone guesthouse is a favourite for its panoramic moorland views, its dark, crystal-clear skies and small number of rooms, making it a perfect hideaway for those looking to reconnect with Mother Earth.
The Western Isles Hotel, in Tobermony, alternatively offers classic elegance with a view, priced from £134 per night.
The dog-friendly accommodation is ideal for those worried about leaving their four-legged friends behind, and it features local seafood and sweeping sea views - making it a popular base for visitors hoping to explore the colourful harbour town.
Meanwhile, beach lovers can find a haven in the Ardachy House Hotel, located near Uisken, which offers tranquility, stunning sea views, and a chance to spot seals and otters on morning strolls to the shore.

For just £127 per night, guests can enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean to Colonsay and Jura, hearty breakfasts and a warm welcome from local hosts.
For those who are hoping for the ultimate Scottish fairytale experience, Glengorm Castle, North of Tobermory, is a real Highland castle perched atop of the island's northern cliffs.
The nightly rate is a little more steep, at £495, but guests can feel like true royalty in the castle's suites, which feature grand, antique furnishings, fireplaces and sea views.
Explore nearby coastal trails, ancient stone circles, and the estate's own café and farm shop.
Finally, for visitors on the search of a creative spark, the hamlet of Calgary is not only home to the Calgary Bay Co. Cafe and Gallery - which includes an inspiring gallery and sculpture trail - but its also home to boutique style accommodation.
At the eco-friendly East Loft, West Loft and The Cart Studio, which each range from £375 to £595 per week (no nightly rate), these apartments offer laid-back living within walking distance of Calgary Beach.
With an on-site café serving fresh local produce and rooms surrounded by wildflower meadows, woodland views and scenic waters of Calgary Bay, it's ideal for both artists and romantics alike.

All staff redundant as Scottish tour company in liquidation
Gordon Dewar also highlighted the importance of the jobs provided by the airport and other employers on the 'campus', in an exclusive interview with The Herald. He observed this employment totalled nearly 8,000, including around 1,000 people employed directly by the airport. And Mr Dewar declared: 'It is obvious that airports are profoundly important for local economies, particularly island economies such as ours. I am a geographer by background. I am a transport operator my whole career.' He also underlined the attractiveness of Edinburgh as a destination for overseas visitors. And he flagged the lift Edinburgh Airport provided to the tourism sector, and vice-versa.

Review: I tried Tom Kitchin's Michelin Star lunch menu in Edinburgh
Eavesdropping is a dreadful habit, I know, but so unexpected is this revelation shared between diner and waiter that I'm stopped in my tracks while flicking through to the more modest set lunch section of the menu. I perform a quick mental run-through of all the restaurants I've visited over the years as each page is turned. Qualms over carbon footprints aside, would any of them warrant that level of commitment to be here today? Perhaps The Kitchin will be the first. And if so, what great luck for me that it's taken just a train to Edinburgh and a stroll down Leith Walk to make my reservation. Priced at £69.00, the Lunch Menu is comprised of three courses with the option to splurge one step further should the selection of fine Scottish cheeses displayed in a neat trolley on the restaurant floor catch your eye. Judging by the number of tables that have ordered thin-stemmed glasses of champagne as a precursor to their meal, I'd wager a couple of extra quid for the pleasure won't be an issue for most. The interiors at The Kitchin share a theme with those at chef Tom Kitchin's Stockbridge venue Scran and Scallie, which I visited earlier this year after the Gastropub was once again named as the best of its kind in Scotland. (Read more: It's £25 for ham, eggs and chips at Scotland's Best Gastropub - and worth every penny) Stag printed wallpaper, 'distressed' upholstery and flourishes of velvet or fluffy faux fur on stools used as a perch for designer handbags, there's a circa 2013 twee-ness to it all. Like you've walked into the section of a glossy home interiors mag titled 'highland chic'. It's fitting for the menu, though, with the philosophy here said to be 'a true reflection of passion for the finest, freshest Scottish seasonal produce'. A small, illustrated map handed over sometime before a boule of crusty, warm bread arrives at the table confirms that the ingredients used for the lunch menu have been sourced from across Scotland's land and sea. Before we get to the courses I've selected from the set menu (there were three options for starters mains and desserts as well as a fully veggie alternative) there are a few small bites including a pani puri-esque wheat puffed shell filled with a super light, savoury mousse followed by a teeny-tiny ball of beetroot with big earthy flavour. Pictured: Lobster and Prawn dumpling on pea and lovage velouté (Image: Newsquest) Serving tables is a two-person job at The Kitchin, and once the warm-up dishes have been cleared away, a duo approaches the table, one carrying a tray and the other poised to gently lift a plate of Newhaven lobster and prawn dumpling, pea and lovage velouté and lobster shell oil from it so that each element looks exactly as it did when leaving the pass. It's a visually striking dish, the vibrant green of the pea velouté surrounding a dumpling that's smooth and pale in contrast. The mystery as to what this outer layer is hiding, along with the aroma from that fragrant lobster shell oil, demands that you sit up and pay attention. Who cares about any leftover bread from the pre-starters? This is the only thing in the restaurant I want to be eating right now. Tearing through the outer layer reveals plenty of gorgeous Scottish seafood stuffed into this pocket of goodness, firm, fresh and utterly delicious. The outer coating of the dumpling, it transpires, is a fraction too thick, meaning that I never fully lose myself in the dish as I'd like to. With each spoonful, the delicate flavours and texture of smooth, sweet peas are overshadowed by a nagging chewiness. Still, it's a strong start, refined yet warm and comforting. Pictured: Pork Loin with braised violet artichoke and black olive tapenade (Image: Newsquest) Next, it's Clash Farm pork loin with braised violet artichoke and black olive tapenade. It's not quite as pretty as the starter, four strips of meat laid out like toast soldiers atop a glossy jus that's just slightly seeped from a neat circle and edged towards the rim of the plate. There are some serious, salty flavours battling it out here. The artichokes, buttery soft and herbaceous, a spoonful of potent olive tapenade and a meaty jus reduced until almost sticky and intense. Then there's the pork to pull it all back from the brink, with the delicate layer of fat in particular benefiting from the punchiness of it all. Read more: We're back on top form presentation-wise with the dessert of Yuzu meringue tart torched gently until golden brown and nestled into a ring of plump Colbeggie farm berries with a quenelle of strawberry sorbet on the side. Pictured: The 'Strawberry and Bramble' dessert (Image: Newsquest) It's a superb pud, a happy marriage of tangy citrus and marshmallow-like Italian meringue executed with a delicate touch. Berries are one of Scotland's greatest seasonal treasures, and a mix of brambles and raspberries effortlessly elevates the dish. Because he's gone all in with the tasting menu, and tackled almost twice as many courses as I have, the man from London has finished his meal only just before me. As I savour the final spoonful of dessert, he fills the waiter in on his plans for the connecting train journeys that will see him home later that evening. He seems content that the meal has been worth it, 'I don't usually like scallops,' he says, 'but that was unlike any I've ever tasted before." I'm glad to hear his efforts have not been in vain, and if the lunch menu has provided a snapshot of what's on offer in the tasting menu, can watch him leave feeling confident that The Kitchin has lived up to expectations. The Kitchin is located at 82 Commercial Street in Edinburgh

Exploring the history and culture of magical Boston
I'm not alone on the second-ever JetBlue ( flight from Edinburgh. My daughter Tara has just finished her Highers and joins me for a rare just daddy and daughter trip. On the way out we're privileged to try Mint, which someone insists on social media – over the free all-plane wifi – is 'America's best business class'. It's hard to disagree with flat beds, restaurant-quality food, Tunnock's with their (proper) coffee and beaming New England service. We ease into Boston, where the airport is handily just across the harbour from the centre. It's quite some harbour, a cross between New York's skyscraper drama and the swathes of greenery that make Sydney such a joy. Old-world wooden trawlers straight out of Jaws chug by hulking tankers that dwarf the locals yachting around their beloved waterway. A massive change is one that 17-year-old Tara cannot appreciate – the 'Big Dig' is over. This seismic multi-billion-dollar city revamp is one of the bravest I've ever seen. The massive elevated six-lane highway that savaged through the centre was demolished and a colossal tunnelling project forced traffic underground, so Bostonians now enjoy calmer traffic, urban greenery and cycleways. Boston feels like a new city. Even our base, the Omni Seaport Hotel ( lies in an eponymous district that was an unappealing industrial zone 25 years ago. It has been reborn as a leisure oasis with cafes, restaurants, hotels and parks, plus waterfront walks. Later this month new ferries will even better connect Seaport to Downtown. Change is perpetual in Boston; creativity too. The Big Dig – officially the Central Artery Tunnel Project – created a LOT of soil, over 16 million cubic yards. Being Boston it didn't go to waste as Christian Merfeld, of Boston Harbor Now, tells me: 'We not only turned highways into the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, but brought the city back together. We also created glorious green spaces like Spectacle Island.' Spectacle Island is one of the 28 islands that make up one of the most dramatic harbours in the Americas. We jump on a ferry that runs in conjunction with this Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. How many cities have national parkland within a 20-minute scenic boat ride? Tara is impressed with the Big Dig, suggesting, 'Glasgow should try it with its motorway'. She is also impressed with the lobster roll picnic we snare from Luke's, owned by a fifth-generation lobster fisherman. Again it's great timing. Tara has seen his other outlets on TikTok, but this one just opened. The buttered bread stuffed with New England's finest is divine. Or, as Tara beams, 'the nicest roll I've ever had.' Boston is renowned for its Irish connections, but there are Scottish ones too and not just with Scots rippling through the city's rich historical fabric. There is a physical connection on Spectacle Island, formed as 'partially drowned drumlin field', a rare glacial phenomenon I know from Dumfries and Galloway's Machars. READ MORE: Freedom Flotilla urges UK Government to 'protect' ship from Israel as it nears Gaza Spectacle Island – which used to be Boston's landfill – is symbolic of how far the city has come. Park ranger Thomas Spadea proudly explains the rebirth of his island charge: 'We buried the rubbish with millions of square cubic meters of dirt and use a network of sea walls, a filtration system and methane vents to create this clean green oasis.' We hike between the two drumlin hills for epic city and harbour views. Since 1995, the Deer Land Wastewater Treatment Plant has turned one of America's dirtiest harbours into one of its cleanest. Back in the city, the Scottish interweaving continues. The State House sports an English lion, closely watched by his old adversary, the unicorn. At the brilliantly immersive Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum actors re-create the lighting of the flame of American independence. Tara throws a replica tea chest overboard as we learn of another country's struggle to free itself from British rule. Boston is famed for its food; we're not disappointed. At Woods Hills Pier 4, the New England produce is as delightful as the manager's welcome. He stresses: 'We really welcome the new JetBlue route as we love hosting Scots'. We try more of that famous lobster (a match for Scotland's finest) and beef from the restaurant's farm. Quincy Market – where Tara delights in trying the famous Boston Cream Pie – is very Boston, a historic bolthole reborn with food stalls. Then at the Beehive, a buzzy live music venue, Tara and I bond over delicious dishes featuring New England tuna and swordfish. Our last meal is at the Union Oyster House, America's oldest restaurant, Wes Hagan tells me: 'I was not a history fan until I started working here, now like many Bostonians I'm obsessed.' As we savour local shellfish, Tara points out that the booth next to us was JFK's favourite. Experiences like this make Boston stack up brilliantly not just for a daddy-and-daughter trip, but for anyone jumping on Scotland's latest Transatlantic route.
