3 Scottish destinations among the best UK family days out

The destinations were named alongside popular attractions across the country, including the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and Warwick Castle in Warwickshire.
Why these attractions in Scotland have been named among the best family days out in the UK
These are the three Scottish spots that have been named among the best family days out in the UK by The Times.
Cairngorm Mountain resort, The Highlands
Located in the "wild heart" of the Highlands, Cairngorms Mountain resort is a "guaranteed family hit".
Kids can explore an adventure playground or go down the tubing slides, while older children can "blaze a trail" at the mountain bike park.
For wildlife lovers, there is a two-hour guided hill trip to see, feed and take photos with the UK's only free-roaming reindeer herd.
Here, there's also a chance to spot native wildlife such as the tiger moth and rock ptarmigan.
Urquhart Castle, The Highlands
Urquhart Castle (Image: Getty Images) Urquhart Castle, which is set dramatically on a rocky outcrop overlooking Loch Ness, should "fire the imagination of any little one," according to the publication.
From the "murderous physics" of a full-size trebuchet to a dark and grim prison cell, there is plenty to see and do.

Tour de France: Edinburgh councillors told 'take back control' over £1.7m reserves spend on cycling event

Edinburgh council officials have recommended a £1.7 million spend on the Tour de France.

Edinburgh councillors need to 'take back control' from officials, one has claimed, amid a row over calls to spend £1.7 million of council reserves on the Tour de France. In a report published before Thursday's full council meeting, officers had asked councillors to sign off on £1.7m for the Tour de France, saying council political group leaders had agreed to it.

The row has emerged with the Tour de France - the world's biggest cycling race - to start in Edinburgh in 2027. One councillor said the planned spend on the tour was 'unacceptable', while another admitted they did not yet know how the spend would benefit the city. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The decision on approving the £1.7m Tour de France spend – and £2m in other reserve use for related issues – has now been pushed back to a committee meeting on Tuesday. Race Director Christian Prudhomme presents The Duchess of Edinburgh with a yellow jersey at the 2027 Tour de France launch event, at Edinburgh Castle The event will mark the third time Britain has hosted the start of the world-famous race after cyclists set off from Leeds in 2014 - when the West Yorkshire city overcame an earlier bid by Edinburgh - and London in 2007. Conservative group leader, councillor Iain Whyte, said of the allocated spend: 'We were given some information. We were not given all the information. We agreed that officers should keep working on it, but I would have expected that to come to committee.' SNP group leader, Councillor Simita Kumar, said: 'On the 7th of October 2024, group leaders were confidentially informed about discussions with Scottish Government and VisitScotland about the Tour de France leaving from Edinburgh in 2027. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Group leaders were happy for officers to explore this with a decision to rightfully take place in an executive committee. There was no agreement from group leaders to authorise any funding – we simply do not have the power to do so within this forum. 'The governance of this decision has been wholly absent especially when there has been adequate time to bring this decision to committee.' The report for councillors said they intended for the £1.7m spend to be replenished from income from the city's coming visitor levy, which comes into effect in the summer next year. Former Liberal Democrat leader Kevin Lang shared the confusion of the other group leaders. But he also clarified that in October, officers had explained the use of visitor levy money to backfill the £1.7m was intended to be extra income brought in by the event. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The 2027 edition of the Tour will be the first time that both the men's and women's races have started in the same country besides France. SNP councillor Kate Campbell said: 'There is very little explanation really of why we're making those allocations. Group leaders I've spoken to do not have recollection of making a decision on this. 'We've had no reports to councillors, no notes to committee, about the value we're getting from £1.7m for the Tour de France. It's a huge amount of money. We really don't know what the benefit to the city is.' Conservative councillor Phil Doggart said: 'This is unacceptable. We are the council. So let's take back control of the council from the officers. We make decisions.'

Bob MacIntyre is Mr Salvage at the Travelers as he shows the world US Open heroics are only the start

Scottish star fights back to finish level on the day ahead of final round in Connecticut Battling Bob MacIntyre fought back to salvage Saturday and stay in the red at the Travelers Championship The Scottish star endured a see-saw Saturday at TPC River Highlands where a mid-round slip offered a big setback in his tournament. ‌ MacIntyre could not have started better with a birdie at the first, but any notion it was going to be smooth sailing were dispelled. ‌ The Oban ace, who finished a brilliant runner-up at last week's US Open, exchanged shots with the course until the 12th hole when an out-of-character double-bogey saw him slip to two-over par for the day and back to level for the tournament. It was at that stage where MacIntyre pulled out some customary quality and grit to recover that lost ground and, with two birdies before getting the clubhouse, he was able to sign for a level-par 70 and ensure there was no damage inflicted on the day. After the 27th round of a punishing seven-week spell which has seen him take in the Truist Championship, PGA Championship, Charles Schwab Challenge, Memorial, RBC Canadian Open and US Open before this Travelers, MacIntyre will now complete this American sequence on Sunday before returning home for a short break before the defence of his Genesis Scottish Open title and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush the following week. He also has the opportunity over the final 18 holes of the Travelers event to make some more small gains in The Ryder Cup rankings with the individuals either side of him in the European points list trailing behind him going into the last round. While MacIntyre is currently fourth in the standings after his stunning Oakmont effort, third-placed Shane Lowry found some weekend form with a four-under par round of 66 to move some places on the leaderboard. ‌ The Irishman had been struggling over the opening two rounds at TPC River Highlands, but was back in his best light with five birdies en route to a 66. Fifth-placed Sepp Straka is also in the Scot's wake at the moment and he sits at two-over par going into Sunday, but the Austrian star, who has two wins on the PGA Tour under his belt already this term, also carded his best effort of the week on Saturday with a 67. Swedish star Ludvig Aberg is also in red figures after a second-successive round of one-under moved him to a shot under the course par, but there was a huge move made by Matt Fitzpatrick. ‌ The English star has struggled to recapture his best form through the past year and has admitted that he is on the fringes of Luke Donald's side looking ahead of Bethpage as he told Sky: 'Being experienced now and knowing how it works, I'm not trying to force the issue. I'm not texting Luke saying: I really want to be there, it's really important for me. If I play well, I'll be there. If I don't play well, I won't be there. I'm happy to accept that.' Fitzpatrick knows his clubs need to do the talking and he produced a sizzling Saturday effort of 63 to rocket up the standings and onto four-under par. The Sheffield star didn't card a single dropped shot as he blitzed his way around the Connecticut circuit to surge to edges of the Top 20. Norwegian Viktor Hovland was not going to be outdone and he matched the number posted by Fitzpatrick with his own 63 to sweep into the Top 10 and give himself an outside chance of a run at the trophy. Hovland came within inches of going one lower and matching the scores of Australian Adam Scott and Canadian Taylor Pendrith, but his birdie effort at the last stayed on the edge of the cup and he remained on the six-under par mark.

Ryanair charged me £100 after saying flight was ‘too full' – even though I had a ticket & was first in line to board

NOT FARE Ryanair charged me £100 after saying flight was 'too full' – even though I had a ticket & was first in line to board Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE were slapped with a £100 fine by Ryanair after the girlfriend refused to leave her boyfriend at the airport. Scott McCormick and his girlfriend Helena Boshwick, both 33, were looking forward to jetting off on a foreign jaunt to Mallorca from Birmingham Airport for a sun-kissed week away. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A horrified holidaymaker discovered that a common hack to save money on Ryanair flights backfired Credit: Kennedy News and Media 2 Scott McCormick and his girlfriend Helena Boshwick were stung with an eye-watering fee to rebook their tickets Credit: Kennedy News and Media The couple opted not to reserve seats, which range between £4.50 and £33 depending on where travellers choose to sit. As they queued up to board, a Ryanair staffer approached the two and reportedly asked them to step aside and told them there was only one seat left. Scott and Helena were left with a big decision to make - Helena could board the flight on her own or turn the offer down and stay with her partner at the airport. She chose the latter, and found she would have to fork out an eye-watering amount for the privilege. read more in news RAIL CHAOS Major evacuation of 1,500 train passengers 'trapped for 2 hours with no air con' When the couple returned to the check-in desk, they were reportedly told they still had to pay for one of the tickets, while Scott insists he never received a refund. As a result, Scott claims he had to shell out an additional £100 for a new ticket and a four-hour wait for the next flight out of Birmingham. A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "This flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca (1 May) was not 'overbooked' – it was scheduled to operate on a 737-8200 (197 seats) but for operational reasons had to be swapped to a 737-800 aircraft (189 seats). "As a result, one passenger was unable to travel on this flight, and was reaccommodated onto the next available flight to Palma de Mallorca. "Mr. McCormick's travel companion was not refused boarding but chose not to board and travel on this flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca and was required to pay a Missed Departure fee (£100) to be booked onto the next available flight. "Mr. McCormick was notified by email on the day of travel (1 May) that he was entitled to claim back reasonable receipted expenses, however Mr. McCormick has yet to submit any expense receipts to Ryanair.' Passengers injured on Ryanair flight after being thrown against the cabin roof as plane 'flew into supercell storm' After recounting his experience on social media, many suggested that Scott and Helena were targeted because they hadn't reserved seats - implying that a common strategy used by many to keep fares low could end up costing more. Scott, hailing from Birmingham, West Midlands, explained: "We checked in the night before and we didn't reserve a seat but you normally just get a random one. "Me and my partner thought it's not that much of a problem if we're not sitting together for a two-hour flight, we're adults here. "We arrived, everything proceeded as usual, went through security as normal, went to the gate after waiting a couple of hours and we were the first ones at the gate ready for boarding. "The lady scanned our boarding passes and told us to step to the side for a second. That moment was a red flag, I thought, 'there's something happening here'. "We stepped aside and watched all the people board the flight. I asked her to tell us what is going to happen and she said 'no'. "When everyone boarded, she said, 'the plane is full, there's only one seat remaining and we will have to reimburse you for the other seat or you'll have to get on the next flight.' "We were having a meltdown at this point. There was no compassion or care whatsoever. "After going back and forth we said we're not going to take separate flights and be in separate countries for hours. We said we wanted to get on the next flight together. "They said 'you can do that, we will fully reimburse both tickets and put you on the next flight for free'."
