Hoots! Your February issue is out now

There are some great features waiting for you in our February issue - in 'Deer today, gone tomorrow'  we ask the unthinkable - could Scotland lose it's most iconic symbol - red deer, if culling continues unabated. Amanda Hamilton, nutritionist and TV presenter tells us why there's no better place to live than North Berwick in her beloved East Lothian. We also tell the fascinating tale of the Scottish hydropathic movement a favourite for Victorians and you can find out how Conan Doyle got the inspiration for his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes from an Edinburgh surgeon. And our cover star this month is taken from our stunning wildlife piece on the secret life of owls.

In Life and Style this month

There's a fishy flavour to our food and drink section this month - we have mouthwatering fish recipes from rising culinary star and scallop diver Paul Wedgewood and we meet food hero Guy Grieve another scallop diver, who has based his life and work around a healthy respect for the outdoors. Restaurant reviewer Cate Devine finds herself at  Cail Bruich West in Glasgow and our reader hotel reviewers try some short breaks to ski, hike or just relax.  You can also enjoy our 17 page spring weddings section with stunning wedding couture from Joyce Young.
