Q Please tell me five places in the UK that you haven’t been to and would like to visit in 2019?

A I will start in Scotland. I have been fortunate enough to visit many of the nation’s islands, from Barra in the Outer Hebrides to Papa Westray in Orkney. But I have still not made it to the archipelago of St Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, about 40 miles west of Benbecula in the far northwest of Scotland. It is one of the few places inscribed on the Unesco world heritage list both for natural and cultural significance.
