Scotland's renowned for the wild beauty of its surrounding countryside, but what about its wildlife? Well, apparently it's famed for that too as a new survey has revealed that more and more people are interested heading to the area for a bit of bird and animal spotting and the tourism department is keen to let visitors know about the Scottish wildcat.

If you like your art but are also partial to a few surprises, then a visit to Paris in the next few weeks might be a good idea. A French photographer has reworked a few time-honoured masterpieces to create fresh new satirical works that offer an interesting view of the world we live in.

Gotta love the digital age! Gone are the days of old when men were men and women couldn't read maps. Finally those travelling around the world are able to do so without a cumbersome Ordnance Survey clutched in both hands while they miss out on the wonders of the country that they're in because they're too busy finding out where they are on a piece of paper. All hail the invention of the iPod!

A new survey has revealed that the city is well up there in the hospitality stakes, with lots of people wanting to visit and stay a while. Why not give it a try?

I extolled the benefits of heading to Berlin to pick up a bargain or two last week and I've mentioned Budapest and other countries in the former Eastern bloc as great places to find a hostel in if you're trying to get some cheaper presents that don't skimp on quality. This week, it's Prague's turn so tune in to make sure you're the favourite son or daughter around the Christmas dinner table this year.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - London's a great place to visit, particularly if you pick and choose when you intend to go. If, for example, you're heading over there for a yuletide/New Year's Eve trip, then you're in for a few lovely surprises, as the city goes all out at these times of year. You'll want to go back again and again, I promise.

No, not the magical kind complete with translucent wings and gold dust who will beg you to clap your hands whenever anyone says they're a non-believer. (Thanks, JM Barrie.) I'm talking Shepard Fairey, the artist who's just recently daubed the streets of Amsterdam with his beautiful creations.

Woohoo! Do I have excellent news for all you staying in either London or Edinburgh hostels who are planning on seeing a bit more of the English and Scottish countryside than the city you're sleeping in! Too right I do - the government has promised to make improvements to the London to Scotland train service, meaning better travel for all you jetsetters out there.

If you've planned a trip to London this weekend and are packing your bag for an overnight stay in a London hostel, it might be wise to pack an umbrella, galoshes, a sou'wester and a heavy-duty macintosh as intense rainfall, coupled with gale-force winds, have been forecast for Britain. Good times.

If you're dying to get away from work and are in dire need of a nice, relaxing holiday then a visit to Amsterdam could very well be the trip you're after - particularly if you're a bit strapped for cash which, let's face it, most of us are in the run up to Christmas, what with demanding relatives crying out for expensive presents and everything. (My sister's been on my case about Ugg boots.)

If you're a bit strapped for cash and want to save a bit of money on your Christmas shopping, you might find it fun to gad off to Eastern Europe for a long weekend - if you don't live somewhere too far away, obviously - as a new report has shown certain countries in the area to be an excellent choice for interesting gifts at affordable prices.

Those who've booked a trip to the city of love in order to visit the museums there and take in one or two artefacts may like to bring their journeys forward as certain items are soon to be removed from the Louvre - for ever! In fact, they're even being taken out of the country so, if you don't act now, you may have to book another holiday in order to see some history.

If you're planning a trip to London any time soon, you'll probably have done your research already and worked out that - flights and accommodation aside - the city isn't the cheapest one to visit. Not because prices are astronomically higher than anywhere else (although they aren't low), but because there's so much to do while you're there. Here's something that could help you save some cash.

November certainly is the month of the firework, particularly if you're in the English capital. What with Guy Fawkes Night and the Lord Mayor's Show, London really isn't the place to be if your ears are in any way sensitive or prone to tinnitus. That said, even if this is the case, would you really want to miss out on one of the best programmes of the year? Didn't think so.

Generally acknowledged to be the epicentre for classical music activity over several hundred years, Vienna is surely one of the best places to head to if you're interested in a bit of concert-going and history hunting. If you're planning a trip there soon, consider doing so in July or August next year. You'll be in for a treat!

Known for its relaxed attitudes, the Californian city of San Francisco is a favourite destination for gay people the world over - and those of all other sexual persuasions as well. Whether you're gay, straight or just undecided, you really ought to hop on a plane to this American town at least once in your lifetime. You'll never forget it.

With so many exciting and new things to see and do, a Christmas holiday spent in London could end up being something of a disappointment if a strict itinerary of events and goings-on is not implemented and stuck to. Of course, if you're more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants guy, that may not be a bad thing but for others, having a plan is always an excellent idea.

I'm not particularly au fait with Scottish history, being from the other side of the world, but I have heard tell of this little annual festival that - aside from Hogmanay - is one of the highlights of the Edinburgh event calendar. It's St Andrew's Day and I highly recommend you head to Scotland to check it out for yourself.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but a taste of hell in the kitchen of New York can show visitors a different side to the city that never sleeps. The area's got a rich and diverse history and is, for me, one of the best places to hang out while on holiday in New York.

Often referred to as the Miracle City, Amsterdam is a strange and wonderful place that caters to a wide variety of tastes. If you're of a slightly more adventurous persuasion, there's the red light district and a host of coffee shops to frequent. If you're up for a bit of history, however, make sure you head to the city in March for the Miracle festival.
