Last Chance to help Blists Hill Victorian Town win $100,000 Prise

Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge has got just a few days left to beat of stiff competition to win $100,000. It is one of only four museums in the country shortlisted to win the prestigious Art Fund Prize. The Museum is encouraging people to get on line and vote as soon as possible as the voting closes at 5pm on Friday 18th June.

The on-line poll has been set up to help the judges choose which museum will win the $100,000 prize money. Steve Miller, Chief Executive of The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust is asking anybody to support the museum by registering a vote for Blists Hill Victorian Town.

Blists Hill has already beaten off incredibly stiff opposition from museums from all around the UK. Broadcaster Kirsty Young is the Chair of the judging panel and she explained that is has been: “a very challenging task to select only four to go forward to the short list. Our visits have been eye-opening and the exceptional quality of the long list has meant that we’ve been spoilt for choice.”

Steve Miller explained: “It will only take people a couple of seconds to vote, but it really could make the difference between whether we win $100,000 or not. We are incredibly proud that our museum has made it to the final four and delighted by the support already give by people from all over the world. To actually go on and win would be amazing.”

Enjoy your holidays in Scottish castles

Scotland is a destination full of big sights, whether they are cities, lakes or mountains. One of the best ways of holidaying in the country is by staying in a similarly big building - a castle.

There are many castles to rent in Scotland thanks to the fact that the country is packed with all kinds of castles, little and large.

A small research was made, and here are the results of the types of Scottish holiday accommodation we discovered:

  • The Scottish holiday accommodation includes not just private castles, but also castle apartments, large houses, mansions and lodges.
  • You could find yourself staying in a castle or mansion apartment, a quaint cottage, a traditional gate lodge, a chalet or even a church tower apartment.
  • Castle accommodation can range from medieval to more modern establishments, while cottages may date back several hundred years or have a more contemporary feel.
  • Accommodation is available to sleep a variety of groups, whether you're travelling with a partner or with a large number of friends.

Many castles and cottages are located in areas of great natural beauty, while others may be situated closer to Scotland's thriving cities and towns.

Which part of Scotland should you visit?

Scottish castle holidays can be taken all over the country. The main regions are the Highlands and islands; Aberdeen and Grampian; Angus, Perthshire and Fife; Argyll, the isles, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs; Edinburgh, Lothian and the Borders; and Glasgow, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.

Each area has its own urban and rural highlights, with the Highlands being the best for sweeping vistas of hills and valleys and Loch Lomond offering numerous watersports opportunities.

Wherever you choose to go, Scotland is diverse enough to offer exactly the type of holiday you want - whether it's a relaxing coastal retreat or a lively city break.

And with Scotts Castle Holidays, you can have a truly unforgettable getaway by staying in some unique accommodation, whether it is a cosy cottage or an impressive medieval castle.

Travel Postcard: 48 hours at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (part 3)

Sunday

10 a.m. Grab the newspapers over breakfast and coffee at your hotel or a nearby restaurant before setting off on another rollicking day at the Fringe.

11 a.m. Take a stroll around Edinburgh's Princes Street, Nicholson Street and George Street to take in the shops because you just need to have those knick knacks for those back home. Edinburgh is filled with shops selling kilts, tartan scarves, rugs, hats, clan badges and joke Scottish memorabilia.

12:25 p.m. It's time to put the news you've gleaned over breakfast to good use before lunch. See The Early Edition at Udderbelly's Pasture in Bristo Square. Comedians Marcus Brigstocke, Andre Vincent and guests take you on a romp through the day's news to pooh-pooh the pomposity of headline print.

2:30 p.m. Get lunch at B'est restaurant for some good old fashioned British hospitality brought to you by "Faulty Towers," a comedy based on the John Cleese TV classic "Fawlty Towers." Basil, Sybil and the bumbling Manuel serve up a lunch time classic. Three-course meal included. There is a dinner show too.

3:30 p.m. Get in one last show or have a last wander along the Royal Mile to see the buskers, who change spots every day. If you stumble across "The Flash" -- two former American circus performers doing acrobatics, juggling and jokes -- stop and watch some top tumbling talent at work.

6 p.m. It's time to start winding down, so find a good place to settle in and recount your trip to Edinburgh in a comfortable spot with whisky and a spot for dinner afterwards. The 180-year-old Cafe Royal on West Register Street, just off Princes Street in the center of Edinburgh, has a bar and a restaurant. Take a seat at one of the booths surrounding the carved wooden bar and order some of its famous oysters, local beer and of course a whisky or two.

The Edinburgh institution is surrounded by original stained-glass windows, Victorian plasterwork, irreplaceable Doulton ceramic murals and is said to be haunted.
