    The Loch Ness Monster, otherwise known as Nessie, is a topic that has been talked about for as long as I can remember.

    Whether you believe in Nessie or not, I think you’re going to learn a lot about the mystery from Paige.

  • Kyle Dawson is the President of the New York City Tartan Week, the largest celebration of Scotland outside of the UK.

    Tartan Week is held in April and has grown from a single day to an extra-long weekend of Scottish celebrations, the main event a parade with a post-parade party.

    Kyle tells us how New York City Tartan Week got started, his own involvements - they are all volunteers by the way - plus how he loves to fly across the Atlantic for a long weekend of his own in Scotland.
