#Isleathon
Another of my crazy idea`s to promote my beloved Scotland.A few weeks earlier I came up with the idea of seeing how many lochS I could visit in one day.I pushed it on Twitter as a #Lochathon .
The idea went down a storm and many people from around the World re-tweeted the images.
By time we got number 12 Loch lubnaig we had drove 178 miles.

After the success of #Lochathon I decided to go one step further.I contacted my fellow Scottish Bloggers--The Scotlanders and had a meeting with our friends- the ferry company Cal Mac. The next project was to be called #Isleathon. The team was to visit as many Scottish Islands as possible. Cal Mac kindly supplied us with the ferry tickets and our digs.
- Islethon was planned to support Scottish Island`s Tourism and I think the Scotlanders team done a great job. I got the job of going to the isles of Muck, Canna. and the small island of Sanday.It was a wonderful insight into how islanders live and work. They treated me like a king with local food and drink.Superb scenery and tons of wildlife.
- I was chased down the road by a team of hens and a bit scared to open the farm`s gate as there wasa rather large Bull staring straight at me. This toonie not used to this.
- The rest of the Scotlanders visited Barra, Bute, Colonsay, Iona, Mull, Raasay, Skye, Staffa and Vatersay, bringing their total island count to twelve in just three days.
- It was reported that over the course of a weekend managed to attract the attention of one million internet users.
Scotlanders have changed Scottish Travel blogging for ever.We are looking at new ways of promoting our country. Video is coming more important. Good images are a must in a all campaigns but engagement on Social Media is a must.
Our #isleathon project with Calmac reached more than 1,000,000 people and made over 4,000,000 impressions on social media. Calmac were over the moon with those results.They may not mean much to the normal person but to them they are king. 2015 has been a learning curve but next year we will move forward.
