     Extractions: The "laddish culture" is thriving in Scotland with alcohol still taking its toll on the nation's health, according to the country's chief medical officer. Dr Mac Armstrong conceded that the Scottish Executive's health advertisements were not succeeding as new figures revealed that alcohol-related deaths were on the increase. The clinical outcome indicators report showed that, in 1990, one in every 100 deaths in Scotland was alcohol-related. By 1999, that number had risen to one in 40. The report also stated that 16 to 25-year-olds of both sexes were the most likely to exceed the recommended weekly alcohol limits. Mac Armstrong: Message not getting through

     Extractions: Scotland's sole candidate to become European City of Culture 2008 has failed to make a final shortlist. Inverness and the Highlands were on a list of a dozen locations which has now been whittled down to just six by a 12-strong committee. Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, Newcastle/Gateshead and Oxford were unveiled as the contenders by the UK Culture Secretary, Tessa Jowell. The UK's last City of Culture - Glasgow in 1990 - enjoyed a significant increase in tourism as a result of winning the title. We asked you what the exclusion of Scotland's candidate said about the country's culture? Are our art galleries, theatres and museums keeping up with the times and other parts of the UK? Does our "culture" send out the correct messages to potential visitors? Or are we just not very good at showcasing what Scotland has to offer? This is what you said. I think 'culture' is ridiculously overrated. I never go to the theatre or art galleries because I believe education is about learning facts. As long as people are well educated about history, politics and science then it does not matter whether they enjoy Shakespeare or Stallone (or neither) in their spare time.

     Island holidays in the Gaelic Heartland of scotland, a close knit, friendly culture and a safe place to be.

     Extractions: faqs press discussion links ... help Culture Hebrides is the first site dedicated to the culture of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, and one of the ten fascinating VisitHebrides.com websites! The Hebrides is the home of an unique spiritual, civilised culture, the true heartland of the Gaels and the Gaelic language. Hebridean communities are close knit, friendly and safe: more in tune with nature and relaxed and contented with the rhythm of life. People will go out of their way to help you and have the time to be genuinely interested in what you have to say. A lively and vibrant culture, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, Ceòlas Music Summer School, the Harris Arts Festival and Barra Live are pioneering events that attract people to the Hebrides from all over the world. Ceòlas is an annual summer festival in South Uist with expert tuition in piping, fiddling, singing, dancing and the Gaelic language. Though focusing on Hebridean tradition, Ceòlas also has a strong Cape Breton dimension. Gaelic culture taken to Cape Breton by emigrants from the Gaidhealtachd nearly 200 years ago survived there in relative isolation. Now Ceòlas provides a unique opportunity to bring it all 'back home'. Celebration of cultural links between music, song and dance, and across the north Atlantic, is the School's hallmark. Pure traditional music also lives on, with the local mods a focal point for junior and adult choirs, musicians, storytellers, poets and actors. Fans of the pipes can hear the Lewis Pipe Band as they parade through Stornoway town centre every Saturday evening in summer.

Aimed at a wide national and international market - including artists, festival organisers, promoters, cultural agencies, cultural policy makers, educators and the general public - the Profile will seek to present a diverse, contemporary image of Scotland and its arts, while providing a "one-stop-shop" for objective, reliable information and practical resources on the country's cultural infrastructure. It will be compiled as a web-accessible directory, incorporating authoritative articles covering contemporary issues and trends in international activity. The website can also be burnt onto a CD ROM for offline viewing and distribution. The website navigation tools will enable the visitor to browse the directory as though reading a book, or to view selected sections.
