THE WHITE HEATHER HOTEL, KYLEAKIN, SKYE

Advantages: Peaceful and friendly
Disadvantages: none at all

...We stayed at the White Heather Hotel in Kyleakin on the isle of Skye in September 2004. We liked it so much that we are going back again in September 2006. ***** THIS REVIEW IS NOW UPDATED DUE TO MY RECENT VISIT AS SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE HOTEL SINCE 2004************************************ ISLE OF SKYE ++++++++++++ The Isle of Skye is off the coast of Scotland, about a 2 hour drive from Fort William. It can be reached by bridge or ferry. It is a beautiful place, with plenty of wildlife. I am not going to go into more detail as this review is not about Skye itself. KYLEAKIN - pronounced Ky-lark-in ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kyleakin used to be the main point for the ferry, so when the bridge was built it changed the nature of the area a bit. There are two pubs and a hotel and several b&b's in Kyleakin...

Review of The White Heather Hotel, Kyleakin, Skye

Heather Oh Heather

Advantages: Tastes Delicious
Disadvantages: Could end up getting very drunk!

...Well my dad got back from a trip to Scotland at the beginning of the week and while we were round for out regular Fish and Chip Supper on a Friday night he showed us the Video he'd shot. During htis he mentioned the Whisky Distilleries and feeling a bit peeved that at no time had I been given a present I made a comment that he hadn't brought my partner and I a bottle of Whiskey back. A very upset dad turned to me with a look of anguish and said haven't I. It turns out he and my brother had clubbed together and treated my partner to a bottle of Dougherty's Superior Blended Scotch Whiskey and me to a bottle of Heather Cream Liquer. My Gift came in a purple box with a picture of a lady holding a bottle of Heather Cream Liquer on the front with the by-line A style all of it's own. On the back of the box and I quote it says'Heather...

Review of White Knight 44AW

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

Heather Ale for the Heathen Sassenach

Advantages: A taste of Scotland's cultural heritage.
Disadvantages: Rather rich for an uncultured palate

...You know me by now ? ?see one, taste one, write it up?, that should be my motto. I was browsing the shelves of the local supermarket the other week when I came across a slender bottle with a label of very Celtic appearance. I have certain long term affinities to the land north of the border ? sequestered there as I was for five years at University back in the mists of antiquity. I had never come across this name before so one of the clan had to go into the basket. THE BACKGROUND Fraoch is Gaelic for heather. The brew is claimed to be Scotland?s native ale. Read on carefully, you may learn the secret of the discovery of other brews too ?! ?Archaeologists discovered a Neolithic shard from 2000 BC containing traces of a fermented beverage made with heather flowers on the Isle of Rum. The Picts were a Celtic tribal race who...

Review of Fraoch Heather Ale

Heather shows off

Advantages: includes video, B-sides, no mixes
Disadvantages: none

...This is a fantastic underrated single. Proud is an uplifting song with amazing lyrics and perfectly suited to Heather's voice. The chorus is unbelievable and it should have done much better than number sixteen. The B-sides are fantastic too - there were no mixes on the CD which I was pleased about. The first B-side 'Don't Give Up The Fight' is more mellow than 'Proud' but once again has fantastic lyrics and really sticks in your head. Then there is Heather's take on Louis Armstrong's 'Wonderful World', and it's just as good - the song suits her voice perfectly and is just a fantastic piece of writing. The CD also features the video, an average video and perhaps the only thing disappointing about the whole package. She looks great on the cover and the colour scheme used for the D and sleeve goes really well....

Review of Proud - Heather Small

~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~

Advantages: Excellent tatse, Great quality wrapping, Nice smell
Disadvantages: none

...~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~ After seeing this on this week?s product of the week last night I decided to give it a try. I don?t actually eat a lot of chocolate unlike most females and i prefer sweets, as most chocolate bars make me feel ill after. Saying this though i have always liked Kit Kat bars. I prefer white chocolate to normal and I love kit kats so thought I would enjoy one of these bars. White chocolate is defiantly my favourite kind, so after buying a bar from my local shop last night I was intrigued to see if it was any better than the original Kit Kat bar. I can say it was thanks to Ciao that I managed to try one even though I have seen them in the shops for a while. The bar itself is also very eye catching so I think I would have got one at some point. They were set in a large white box right by the till so i would be...

Heather the Violet Fairy - Daisy Meadows Paperback

Advantages: Wonderful fairy story, good characters, lovely fantasy
Disadvantages: one in a series, might not understand unless read others

...Peter presenter, ) will do the job of making the books physical life last longer. Full colour fairy illustrations, and adorned with purple and silver glitter really appeals to the little girls and also catches the light in book stores to attract the attention of those who will be buying them for the little girls. aka, those of us with cheque books. Story: The series of books tells the story of the Rainbow fairies. Each book concentrates on the background and adventure of one of the faires. Ranging from the first book in the series, Ruby through to this book Heather the Violet fairy which is the last in the series. Each is only 80 pages long and the text is large and simple. The idea of these books is to encourage reading and imagination, rather than actually be taxing and a word learning experience. I would say these are very much...

Review of Heather the Violet Fairy - Daisy Meadows

White chocolate and muffins

Advantages: tastes good and cheap
Disadvantages: lots of calories

...I found that there is a cheap chocolate trio available is Sainsbury?s Basics series. Actually I have tried all of them but now I review the white chocolate. First impressions ---------------------- This chocolate is in a white wrapper as the Sainsbury?s Basics series usually are wrapped. The Sainsbury?s logo and the White Chocolate title on it are written with orange. The bar is 100 g and costs 0.27 pounds. The wrapper can be opened easily. It is cheap wrapper so don?t expect to be re-sealable. It has all the nutritional and ingredients information on the wrapper. The white chocolate looks exactly the same as white chocolates look. It has a light beige colour. It smells sweet but in positive way. Ingredients: ---------------- Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder (from Cows' Milk), Whey Powder (from Cows' Milk), Skimmed Milk...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate

Hollow Heather

Advantages: not too many
Disadvantages: some

...has to look for a flatmate so that she can pay off the remaining credit. A young American applies, he?s come to the UK for the Edinburgh Festival where he wants to perform as a stand-up comedian. Bad luck for him that Heather hates stand-up comedy, good luck for him that he?s the only applicant. Heather has a crush on her neighbour living on the opposite side of the street, but he doesn?t seem to know that she exists. One day a gypsy makes her buy a sprig of white heather which will fulfil her wishes, she warns her, however, to wish wisely. Although Heather isn?t superstitious, she can?t help noticing that all her small, everyday wishes come true, a seat on the tube, for example, she then becomes bold and wishes her neighbour to notice her and fall in love with her. According to chick lit formula the woman is first without a man...
