The images are from personal visits to this fascinating mediaeval walled town in the verdant and beautiful countryside of Tuscany (click here for a good website about the history and attractions of the area). Many of the Italian families that form the backbone of the Scottish Ice Cream and Fish Restaurant trade originally came from around Barga, and their descendants maintain strong links with the area, thus producing a uniquely Scottish flavour to the place. The quality of the food, the beautiful wooded hillsides and dramatic mountains, the friendliness of the locals, all these things combine to make Barga a 'must-see' for folk visiting Tuscany.
