Shop Online or Shop Local for Special Lothian Life Offers

Here at Lothian Life we are trying to bring you special offers and opportunities, not the kind of offers that you will find in every publication you pick up but ones that you have a genuine chance of benefiting from. Amongst these this week is the chance to win tickets to the Ideal Home & Garden Show and the chance to win the latest Guide to the Pentland Hills.

We’ve teamed up with the Ideal Home & Garden Show to offer 10 lucky readers the chance to win a pair of tickets worth £8 each to this year’s show. The show runs at the SECC Glasgow from 18-22nd April 2007 so check out the article in Lothian Life for more information on the show and how to win your tickets.

Cicerone guides are generally informative in every way, well presented and affordable. Susan Falconer’s guide, which features 30 walks in the Pentland Hills, is a perfect example. Susan Falconer herself has been a countryside ranger with the Pentland Hills Ranger Service since 1995, so there isn’t much she doesn’t know about these hills. The book is full of information both useful (necessary) and fascinating, with historical and fanciful anecdotes as well as points of interest on flora and fauna and the well worth considering “best walked clockwise if the wind is from the west!” Lothian Life has 3 copies of this super guide worth £10.99 to give away.

We’ve had a lovely spell of weather in the lead up to Easter and it’s got us all thinking about holidays in the sun. Many more of us are finding that a holiday in the sun is possible in Britain and doesn’t have the ‘guilt trip’ tag associated with air flights, so here are some suggestions to make sure that you look after your skin.
