Dundee Penguins.

The city has long been associated with penguins, these five penguins ree located at Dundee's Steeple Church at Nethergate.

This connection traces back to the RRS Discovery situated at Dundee's waterfront. Its inaugural expedition was to the British National Antarctica - the homeland of the penguin!

The five are regularly dressed to celebrate events in Dundee.

I’ve been looking for a beautiful moss agate necklace for ages, and finally I found one. This gorgeous ‘Tayside Moss Agate’ necklace was handcrafted by a lovely lady on Folksy. The stone is sourced in Scotland, which makes it even more personal to me and the silver is recycled. Under the stone she will hand stamp a wee image for you … I couldn’t be happier and had to share. She has lots of other items in her shop, all with a link to the Scottish countryside.

You can find her shop ‘Caledonian Keepsakes’ on Folksy … 😃

Trailer Rental Tayside: Your Comprehensive Guide to Renting Trailers in Tayside, Scotland

Renting a trailer can be an incredibly practical solution for a variety of needs, whether you're moving house, transporting goods, or planning a big outdoor adventure. In Tayside, Scotland, trailer rentals have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and versatility. This blog will guide you through the process of renting a trailer in Tayside and highlight the numerous benefits that come with it.

How to Rent a Trailer in Tayside

1. Identify Your Needs

To initiate the process of renting a trailer, it is essential to identify and establish your unique set of requirements. Consider the following questions:

- What will you be transporting? Different trailers are designed for different purposes. For example, you might need a flatbed trailer for large equipment, an enclosed trailer for moving household items, or a livestock trailer for animals.

- Please provide the dimensions and weight of your cargo. Make sure to choose a trailer that can safely accommodate the weight and dimensions of your cargo.

- How long will you need the trailer? Rentals can be charged by the hour, day, week, or month. Determine the duration you need the trailer to get the best rate.

2. Research Trailer Rental Companies

Once you have a clear idea of your needs, start researching trailer rental companies in Tayside. Look for companies with good reviews, reasonable prices, and a variety of trailer options. Many rental companies offer online booking systems, making it easy to compare options and make a reservation.

3. Check Licensing and Insurance

Ensure that you have the necessary license to tow the type of trailer you intend to rent. In the UK, your driving license category will dictate the maximum trailer weight you can tow. Additionally, verify that the rental includes insurance coverage, or consider purchasing additional coverage if needed.

4. Inspect the Trailer

Before taking the trailer, perform a thorough inspection. Check for any visible damage, ensure that the lights and brakes are functioning correctly, and confirm that the trailer hitch is compatible with your vehicle. This step is crucial to avoid any potential issues during your rental period.

5. Understand the Rental Agreement

Carefully read through the rental agreement, paying attention to the terms and conditions. Note the return time, mileage limits, and any additional fees that may apply. Familiarizing yourself with these specifics can prevent any surprise fees.

6. Pick Up and Return

On the day of your rental, arrive at the rental location with all necessary documents, including your driver’s license and proof of insurance. After completing the paperwork, you’ll be ready to pick up your trailer. When returning the trailer, make sure it is clean and in the same condition as when you picked it up.

Benefits of Renting a Trailer in Tayside

1. Cost-Effective

Renting a trailer can be much more affordable than purchasing one, especially if you only need it for a short period. This cost-effectiveness makes it an ideal option for occasional use, saving you the expense of maintenance, storage, and depreciation.

2. Flexibility

Trailer rentals offer great flexibility. You can choose the exact type of trailer you need for each specific task, whether it’s a small utility trailer for a quick garden cleanup or a large box trailer for a house move. This flexibility ensures that you always have the right equipment for the job.

3. Convenience

Many rental companies in Tayside provide convenient options for pick-up and drop-off, including multiple locations and after-hours return services. This convenience allows you to fit trailer rental into your schedule without hassle.

4. Access to Quality Equipment

Rental companies typically maintain their trailers to a high standard, ensuring that you get reliable and safe equipment. This access to well-maintained trailers can give you peace of mind, knowing that your rental will perform as expected.

5. Try Before You Buy

If you’re considering purchasing a trailer but are unsure which type or size would best suit your needs, renting offers an excellent opportunity to test different models. This trial period can help you make an informed decision and avoid costly mistakes.

6. No Long-Term Commitment

Renting eliminates the need for a long-term commitment. You can rent a trailer for as long or as short as you need, without worrying about ongoing costs or storage issues when the trailer is not in use.

7. Environmental Benefits

By renting instead of buying, you contribute to a more sustainable environment. Renting reduces the demand for new trailers, which in turn lowers the production of materials and energy required to manufacture them. Taking this small yet meaningful action will contribute to the reduction of your carbon footprint.

Conclusion

Trailer rental in Tayside, Scotland, offers numerous advantages for anyone needing to transport goods, whether for personal or business purposes. By understanding the process of renting a trailer and recognizing the benefits, you can make an informed decision that meets your needs while also being cost-effective and convenient. So, the next time you have a big job ahead, consider renting a trailer in Tayside – it might just be the perfect solution.

Fishing, woodland walks, sustainable food and goode times

Jim Murray, The Crown actor, shared some lovely pics (on IG and TW) of Matthew and his friends Burn Gorman and Dominic West fishing in Tayside, Scotland.

Extract from IG post:

"Without a studio funded, highly fastidious, professional production team working 24/7, rounding up actors and creative types to do ANYTHING puts cat herding firmly in the shade.

It was therefore a happy surprise when my guests all arrived pretty much in one piece for a spring salmon session last week.

They were also keen to learn more about the plight of the king of fish and the challenges it faces so expert scientist David Summers of the Tay fisheries board was on hand so that they too become much needed advocates for this fast dwindling, endangered species.

Yes we were lucky enough to connect with a few fish but the real win was spending time in nature with friends, decompressing and turning (for some) new tricks."

Also more about the trip in this local news article ⬇️

Matthew & friends were said to also have gone for woodlands walks & offered to do a group photo supporting the environmental campaign Off The Table. They were very jolly!

I hope Burn and Matthew were plotting their appearance in The Offer 2! My favourite characters, they were on fire.
