Reaching far back into history, we have houses built over five thousand years ago, Cathedrals from more modern times but still a thousand years old, a generous supply of castles and a wealth of other buildings illustrating the rich history which surrounds us at every turn.
Yet at the same time, the District stands at the forefront of modern developments in oil exploration, renewable energy and medicine – a fascinating mix of ancient and modern.
Farmers and fishermen supply us with the finest produce of land and sea and our chefs make the most of these to provide us with a culinary experience second to none. And the mountains, lochs, seascapes and clear air give us an everchanging panoramic of the wonder of nature.
There are 88 Rotary Clubs in the District, each one happy to welcome visiting Rotarians and their partners. With over three thousand Rotarians in the District, the range of events and projects which are supported is immense. The eradication of Polio, providing shelter and other essentials where there are natural disasters, providing clean water and health education are just a few of the areas of service undertaken by Clubs in the District. But it’s not all hard work; fellowship and fun are essential ingredients in all the events and projects carried out both at home and further afield.
