The Ship Website

The Ship (aka ‘The Ship On The Shore’) is a seafood restaurant and bar located on the Shore in Leith, Edinburgh.

The Ship’s identity was developed based on some existing features (such as the typeface ‘Kimberley’) and the newly-created art by Davy Macdonald that will feature on the restaurant’s own-brand champagne label.

Whether it’s just a drink and a light lunch you’re after, or our luxury seafood ‘orgy’, accompanied by our own Champagne, The Ship offers informal, understated excellence. We aim to supply Scotland’s best seafood dining experience.

The website is fully content-managed allowing the client to update the menus and other content on the site. A Twitter and LinkedIn account were created and integrated into the website to allow The Ship to use Social Marketing to target potential customers online.

The project was carried out in association with CullenSkink.

Aim high and make it your life’s work to bag Scotland’s 3,000(ish) Castles or why not try to bag ALL of Scotland’s 95 inhabited Islands in a year? By Bagging the 85 Malt Whisky Distilleries in Scotland, you’ll just happen to pass through some of Scotlands best scenery which is full of Castle culture, history and heritage as well. It’s simple, with Bagging Scotland.

The Bagging Scotland team will use a modified VW Transporter, AKA 'The Baggin Waggon', to tour Scotland and in the process 'bag' lots and lots of Whisky Distilleries and maybe some Castles, Munros and Islands too.

For instance, if Islands are your bag, Island Bagging’s website will enable you to put up your own blog, post photos or videos or demonstrate your recent Island conquests, all on your own Bagging Scotland page. If you’ve got a photo of you at the ferry terminal sign at Tobermory or at a recognised Island landmark like the Mishnish bar, then you’ve Bagged Mull! You can compete against others, find out the REAL truths about the Islands and see how others have Bagged the islands, to decide which one you’d like to do next! It’s the same with all our sites. Interactive, educational, organic and above all, great fun.

Build up your own exciting Island Bagging travelogue, get advice from others, develop friendships with liked minded people and be part of Scotland’s newest tourism trail.

Are you Gaggin’ to go Baggin’? Soon, you can!

Bagging Scotland is co-founded by Victor Brierley (of CullenSkink) and Ramsay MacFarlane (yes, that’s me!) and we are currently in the process of developing the business model and concept to attract investors, ready for launch in March 2010.
