VANAF EIND 2024 ETA VERPLICHT VOOR VERENIGD KONINKRIJK
LONDEN - Nederlandse reizigers zullen vanaf eind 2024 een Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) moeten aanvragen voor hun reis naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Inwoners van de meeste Europese landen waren hier tot nu toe van vrijgesteld, maar dat gaat veranderen.
Dat meldt de Britse overheid. De nieuwe regels zullen naar verwachting vanaf de herfst van 2024 in werking treden en gelden voor alle nationaliteiten. Alleen Britse en Ierse staatsburgers zullen geen ETA aan te hoeven vragen. De procedure om een ETA te krijgen lijkt in veel opzichten op andere visa-waiver programma’s zoals ESTA (USA), ETA-CA (Canada) en de ETA visa van Australië.
De ETA voor het VK gaat naar verwachting 10 pond kosten en zal twee jaar geldig zijn. Met het nieuwe systeem wil het Verenigd Koninkrijk meer tijd hebben om voorafgaand aan de aankomst van reizigers te beoordelen of er risico’s zijn. “Het plan zal het Verenigd Koninkrijk meer controle over onze grenzen geven, waardoor we kunnen voorkomen dat bedreigingen het Verenigd Koninkrijk binnenkomen”, aldus de overheid in een verklaring.

ROEKSMA, Alice -
Centraal Schotland inclusief Edinburgh & Glasgow, uitg.: Edicola|PassePartout Reisgidsen, (mei 2019),
ISBN 9789492920638, paperback, 160 blz., €24,50
Wie er nog nooit is geweest denkt bij Schotland direct aan ruige hooglanden. Dankzij de huidige budgetvluchten is Schotland ook perfect voor wervelende stedentrips. Voor je het weet zit je in Edinburg. De hoofdstad tussen de oude vulkanen en met een enorm cultureel aanbod. Het zomerfestival is een feest dat bezoekers trekt uit de hele wereld, de musea zijn imposant en meestal gratis. Glasgow heeft een indrukwekkende inhaalslag gemaakt. Je kunt er shoppen in een trendy centrum en je vindt er prachtige musea, nieuwe gebouwen van spraakmakende architecten, festivals en grootse straatmuzikanten. Vanuit beide steden reis je met het openbaar vervoer makkelijk naar de kust. Naast Edinburg en Glasgow beschrijft auteur Alice Broeksma in deze PassePartout reisgids ook de kusten aan de oost- en westkant: Lothian/Fife en Ayrshire met het eiland Arran, dat door het spectaculaire landschap ‘Schotland in een notendop’ wordt genoemd. Centraal Schotland is een perfecte mix van cultuur en natuur.
Alice Broeksma was tien jaar verslaggever en buitenlandredacteur voor Haagsche Courant/Sijthoff Pers en NOS-Journaal, en schrijft en fotografeert voor Nederlandse en Engelse publicaties. Bij Edicola verscheen eerder haar boek Weelderig Dordogne.

ISBN 9789492920966, paperback, 160 blz., €24,50
Schotland. Een land dat beelden oproept van mistige hooglanden, oude kastelen en ruïnes, Keltische steencirkels en woeste bergen waarin het verleden nog steeds voelbaar aanwezig is. In deze PassePartout reisgids neemt de auteur de lezer mee langs de mystieke, historische plekken van dit bijzondere land. Plaatsen zoals Rosslyn Chapel, Glamis Castle, Plusgarden Abbey, de Ring of Brodgar, Het graf van prinses Scota, Linlithgow Palace en de Callanish Stones .
Plaatsen die niet alleen van historische betekenis zijn, maar die ook een mystieke en mysterieuze achtergrond hebben. Plaatsen waar het verleden, heden en toekomst vaak samenkomen en waar het gewoon heel leuk is om er heen te gaan, kennis te nemen van de geschiedenis en de mystieke sfeer in te ademen.
Schotland is niet alleen een geweldig vakantieland waarin ontspanning, rust en stilte voorop staan. Het is ook een land voor wie de moeite neemt om iets meer te willen onderzoeken, en interesse heeft voor een geschiedenis die tot meer dan 60.000 jaar terug gaat.
Jaap Hiddinga is natuurkundige en adviseur op het gebied van duurzaamheid. Zijn liefde voor Schotland bracht hem een aantal jaren geleden naar dit prachtige land, waar hij in de buurt van Edinburgh leeft en woont. Voor Edicola schreef hij vele boeken over bewustwording en zingeving.

ISBN 9789461230386, paperback, 78 blz., formaat ca.
13X20cm, €17,50
Glasgow floreerde tijdens de Industriële Revolutie. De stad beschouwde zichzelf als de tweede stad van het Britse rijk, investeerde in transport en bouwde huizen, musea en ziekenhuizen in de Victoriaanse en Edwardiaanse stijl.
De Eerste Wereldoorlog maakte aan dit alles een einde. Glasgow bevond zich in een diep dal zonder inkomsten en met veel ziektes, criminaliteit en armoedige levensomstandigheden voor de inwoners. Een grote schoonmaak haalde Glasgow letterlijk en figuurlijk uit het stof: gebouwen werden schoongespoten en de gemeente investeerde in de stad en de inwoners.
Vijf wandelingen met routekaarten en tips voor onderweg.
Verborgen geschiedenis • Het nieuwe en oude Glasgow.
Het oorspronkelijke Glasgow • Het groene Glasgow • Wandelen in de omgeving van Glasgow.

Aan de hand van onder anderen Samuel Johnson en James Boswell, die in de 18de eeuw door Schotland reisden, maar ook Schotlands grootste komiek Billy Connolly, maakt de auteur de lezers vertrouwd met typisch Schotse zaken als haggis, single malts, tartans, clans en Highland Games.

Ze schreven eerder een reisgids over Wales en over het Engeland van Jane Austen.

Dezelfde natuur biedt ook avontuur en beweging. Voor degene die daar belangstelling voor heeft, kan men dus ook avontuurlijke activiteiten in die natuur ondernemen. Bergsport, skiën, fietsen, wandelen, kanovaren en andere watersporten zijn een aantal van de mogelijkheden en elke streek biedt een ruim aanbod aan activiteiten op dit gebied.
Dit boek laat een aantal van die mogelijkheden zien, samen met handige tips over het weer en hoe men zich kan voorbereiden op de uitdagingen in de natuur. Welcome to Scotland of in de oude taal, het Gaelic: Fàilte gu na h-Alba!

Engaging, eccentric, informative, inspirational and only very occasionally trainspotter-ish, Scotland from the Rails is the perfect guide to some of the most romantic rail journeys not just in Britain but the world.
Scotland’s rail network boasts the highest mainline summits in Britain; the longest bridge; the longest and boldest spans; the most famous railway bridge of all (the Harry Potter one); as well as some of the friendliest staff and the most lovely – and downright quirky – station buildings, many lovingly maintained or restored. And for icing on the cake, or rather cream on the Cranachan, some utterly charming and fascinating preserved lines, steam centres and luxury excursion trains which cruise through this magnificent land.
From the East Coast to the Great North, the West Highland Line to the Skye Railway, let expert rail enthusiast Ben le Vay be your guide to the best of Scotland’s rail journeys. Perfect for train buffs, Scotland buffs, history buffs and trivia buffs, Scotland from the Rails is also the ideal book for anyone whose idea of heaven is sit back on a train and gaze out of the window.
Benedict Le Vay is a national newspaper sub-editor who has worked in four continents but wrote his first book, Eccentric Britain, more or less by accident after collecting oddities about his home country.

ULDER, Michiel -
Schotse Hooglanden en de westkust van Oban tot Durness, uitg.: Edicola|PassePartout Reisgidsen, (okt.2020),
ISBN 9789493160439, paperback,
160 blz., formaat
220X172X15mm, €24,50
De Schotse Hooglanden en de Westkust vormen binnen dit Schotland een klasse apart. Heuvels en bergen voor zover het oog reikt, afgewisseld met valleien, lochs en hier en daar een bos. Je vindt er de hoogste toppen van Groot-Brittannië maar ook levendige stadjes en verstilde dorpen langs de kust.
Dit enorm uitgestrekte gebied is bovendien dunbevolkt en leeg. Erg leeg. Niet voor niets wordt er wel gesproken over een van de laatste wildernissen van West-Europa. De Schotse Hooglanden zijn daarom populair bij wandelaars en klimmers, en het unieke licht oefent grote aantrekkingskracht uit op fotografen. En automobilisten en motorrijders die van een fijn stukje sturen houden, weten bovendien de smalle en kronkelige te waarderen.
Michiel Mulder was acht jaar lang actief bij een uitgeverij van fotobladen voordat hij in 2008 de stap maakte naar freelance redacteur en fotograaf. Naast schrijven en fotograferen organiseert hij ook reizen voor autoliefhebbers.

De ruim 800 km lange route, die start en eindigt in Inverness en grotendeels loopt langs de noord-schotse kusten, omlijst een enorm uitgestrekt gebied waarin talloze uitersten zich aan de mobiele reiziger opdringen: van kleine pittoreske dorpjes tot verrassend grote steden; van liefelijke valleien tot nauwe kloven; van prachtige zandstranden tot steil uit zee oprijzende klippen en van zacht glooiende heuvels tot ruige bergen.
In North Coast 500, een ontdekkingsreis door Noord–Schotland worden al deze verschillende gebieden (inclusief de Orkneys) in beeld gebracht, waarbij niet alleen de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden worden belicht maar ook minder bekende plekjes vermeld worden. Hoewel de nadruk ligt op dat wisselende natuurschoon, wordt ook aandacht geschonken aan de eveneens diverse cultuur en historie van deze gebieden.
Kees Rodenburg en zijn vrouw Anita zijn al sinds 1996 vaste bezoekers van Schotland. Hun passie voor dit prachtige land leidde ertoe dat zij in 2008 naar Schotland emigreerden. Na een aantal jaar in Fort William gewoond te hebben, verhuisden zij in 2008 naar het eiland Skye. Hiervandaan maken zij nog steeds allerlei trips naar al die spectaculaire gebieden waar de Schotse Hooglanden zo rijk aan is.

Scottish Island Bagging: The Walkhighlands guide to the islands of Scotland, uitg.: Vertebrate Publ. (okt.2019),
ISBN 9781912560301, paperback,
272 blz., €26,90
Focusing on the ninety-nine islands that have regular trips or means of access for visitors, plus fifty-five other islands which have no regular transport but are still of significant size or interest, the authors have described the best ways to experience each one. Of the islands featured, many are household names – Skye, Lewis, Bute – while some, such as the isolated St Kilda archipelago and the remote Sula Sgeir, will be unknown to all but a hardcore few.
When it comes to things to see and do, the islands of Scotland have it all. Wildlife enthusiasts can watch out for otters, orcas and basking sharks, while birdwatchers in particular are spoilt: look out for the rare corncrake on Islay, sea eagles on Mull, or sight puffins, gannets, storm petrels and many other seabirds on any number of islands – although beware the divebombing bonxies.
Foodies can sample Arran or Westray cheese, the many islands’ world-renowned seafood or learn about the whisky making process and sample a wee dram on a distillery tour.
While the human history may not stretch back in time as far as the geology of these ancient lands, it is rich and varied: visit the 5,000-year-old Neolithic village of Skara Brae on Orkney, or Mackinnon’s Cave on Mull, following in the footsteps of Samuel Johnson and James Boswell.
Hillwalkers can bag a Munro, walk the wild clifftops or take in the sights, or you could just escape from it all on one of the dozens of beautiful and deserted beaches – before joining the locals for a ceilidh into the wee hours.
Well served by ferries and other transport links, getting around is easy. You could even take the world’s shortest scheduled flight. In Scottish Island Bagging, let Helen and Paul Webster be your guides to these enchanting isles.

Bradt’s new guide to the Outer Hebrides: The Western Isles of Scotland, from Lewis to Barra, by experienced writer and journalist Mark Rowe is the only full-size guide to focus solely on the islands of Lewis, Harris, St Kilda, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra and Vatersay. Masses of background information is included, from geography and geology to art and architecture, with significant coverage of wildlife, too, as well as all the practical details you could need: when to visit, suggested itineraries, public holidays and festivals, local culture, plus accommodation and where to eat and drink. Walkers, bird-watchers, wildlife photographers, beach lovers and genealogists are all catered for, and this is an ideal guide for those who travel simply with curious minds to discover far-flung places of great cultural, historical and wildlife interest.
The Outer Hebrides is an archipelago of 15 inhabited islands and more than 50 others that are free of human footprint. Huge variations in landscape are found across the islands, from Lewisian gneiss, which dates back almost three billion years, to rugged Harris with its magnificent sands running down its western flanks and the windswept, undulating flatness and jagged sea lochs of the Uists. This is a land where Gaelic is increasingly spoken and ancient monuments abound, where stunning seabird colonies and birds of prey can be watched, and where the grassy coastal zones known as the machair are transformed into glorious carpets of wildfllowers in late spring and summer.
Whether visiting the Standing Stones of Callanish, the Uig peninsula, Barra’s Castle Bay, or historic St Kilda, or if you just want to experience the romance of the Sound of Harris, one of the most beautiful ferry journeys in the world, Bradt’s Outer Hebrides: The Western Isles of Scotland, from Lewis to Barra has all the information you need.

OWE, Mark -
Orkney, uitg.: Bradt Travel Guides Ltd (2e ed.maart 2024),
ISBN 9781784776305, paperback, 328 blz., €23,90
This thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's guidebook to the alluring Scottish archipelago of Orkney is written by experienced author and journalist Mark Rowe, who is something of a specialist on the more remote parts of Scotland. He is author of Bradt’s hugely popular guide to the Outer Hebrides. Orkney comprises 70 islands, 19 inhabited, and the focus of this guide is the 13 major inhabited islands. Masses of background information is included, from geography and geology to architecture and archaeology, with significant coverage of wildlife, too, as well as all the practical details you could need: when to visit, suggested itineraries, public holidays and festivals, local culture, plus accommodation and where to eat and drink. Wildlife lovers, walkers, bird-watchers, beach lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, genealogists, foodies, couples seeking escape and cyclists are all catered for, and this is an ideal guide for those who travel simply with curious minds to discover far-flung places of great cultural, historical and wildlife interest.
Orkney is extraordinary. Home to Skara Brae, the most important Stone-Age village in northern Europe, it is also the site of the Neolithic henge of the Ring of Brodgar and Maeshowe chambered tomb, the entrance to which is aligned with the setting sun on the winter solstice. In fact, Orkney has so many archaeological sites it has its own Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site. Here, too, you’ll find the Old Man of Hoy, a spectacular 140m-high sea stack, Scapa Flow, scene of the dramatic scuttling of the German Fleet in 1919, and Marwick Head nature reserve, the definitive wildlife location, dramatically perched on cliffs and a wonder-world for bird lovers. The archipelago also offers the world’s shortest scheduled commercial flight – just 60 seconds, between Westray and Papa Westray – and is the location of the UK’s most northerly distilleries. Food lovers won’t be disappointed either with an astonishing number of local food outlets and family producers, some going back more than 100 years.

Walking on Uist and Barra: 40 coast, moorland and mountain walks on all the isles of Uist and Barra, uitg.: Cicerone (jan.2023),
ISBN 9781786311443, 192 blz., €23,90
A guidebook to 40 walks on the Scottish islands of Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra, Vatersay and Mingulay in the Outer Hebrides. The walks are varied and graded, from short, flat beach walks beside crystal clear waters to long excursions across wild mountainous terrain, the routes visit all the major islands from Berneray to Vatersay but also those smaller and offshore such as Eriskay and Mingulay. Routes are described in four sections, by area, and illustrated with vivid colour photographs and OS mapping. Walking across these landscapes, especially the hill country, gives a sense of remoteness and peaceful solitude that cannot be found in the mainland's National Parks or on the Munros busy with peak baggers. Despite a relatively narrow area, Uist and Barra's diverse islands offer a contrasting walking terrain and many ancient historic sites such as chambered cairns and standing stones as well as lots of local wildlife. Upland areas are home to red deer and golden and white-tailed eagles, while along the coast grey seals are common and thousands of birds set up their breeding grounds in the machair. Daily flights between Glasgow and Benbecula as well as the ferry network mean that all of the islands are readily accessible.
