    Paolo Nutini’s “Candy”

    by W. Andrew Powell May 9, 2009
    by W. Andrew Powell May 9, 2009

    Two years ago, when I was traveling in Scotland, I asked a guy working at a record store what local bands he could recommend. I had heard of a few, but had hoped he might tell me about a new band I might never hear of outside the country.

    The result was hit and miss, he got me into The Fratellis, who I had heard in the iPod ad but hadn’t listened to otherwise, and he got me into Paolo Nutini and their CD, These Streets.

    Scotland: Fine dining at Michael Caines Restaurant

    by W. Andrew Powell July 31, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell July 31, 2007

    In a city the size of Glasgow it would be easy to get lost among the restaurants. There are dozens of famous eateries in the city and picking one among the crowd can be a bit daunting. It becomes much easier however when you discover a chef like Michael Caines.

    Exploring historic Scotland

    by W. Andrew Powell July 31, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell July 31, 2007

    Scotland has always held a special fascination for me – from the castles, culture, scenery, and even the food, I’ve wanted to explore the land that one of my ancestor’s once called home. Lots of countries offer something special that you won’t find anywhere else, but for me Scotland’s allure was the connection I felt to its history.

    The Story of Scotland, Part 4

    by W. Andrew Powell July 10, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell July 10, 2007

    On our way back to Glasgow for our last night in Scotland we chose to stop off at a nearby castle before we even realized it wasn’t just any castle – it turned out that Doune Castle, which was used as the set for Monty Pythοn and the Holy Grail. Pick almost any room in the castle and it was used for something in the movie. We were just getting our Historic Scotland pass stamped when the guy asked us if we were Monty Pythοn fans and promptly handed us a coconut that was cut in half and attached together so you can clomp along like a knight of the round table.
