In partnership with Heart Scotland, Scotland’s feel-good radio station, we revealed live on air on Wednesday, June 5th, that we have officially renamed Loch Tay at Loch Tay Highland Lodges ‘Loch Tay Tay’ in honour of international superstar Taylor Swift.
Loch Tay, located in Perthshire, was renamed to celebrate the highly anticipated and sold-out UK leg of The Eras world tour, which begins in Edinburgh on June 7.
Over the past week, Heart Scotland Breakfast hosts Des Clarke and Jennifer Reoch have been enlisting the help of Heart listeners to find a way to honour Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour.
Our team at Loch Tay Highland Lodges contacted Heart Scotland and suggested that they rename Loch Tay ‘Loch Tay Tay’. On June 5th, bagpipers played renditions of Taylor Swift songs at an official renaming ceremony broadcast live on Heart Breakfast with Des Clarke and Jennifer Reach as a brand new sign, ‘Loch Tay Tay,’ was unveiled.
Heart Breakfast’s Des and Jennifer said: “We’re giving Taylor the ultimate Scottish welcome by officially renaming the iconic Loch Tay, Loch Tay Tay! With the help of our amazing listeners and the team at Loch Tay we are making one of the world’s most celebrated artists feel right at home here in Perthshire!”
Andrew Howe, Chairman of Largo Leisure, said: “What could be more fitting for pop royalty like Taylor Swift than having one of the most impressive lochs in Scotland named after her? We think Loch Tay Tay and our newly named holiday park Loch Tay Tay Highland Lodges is a fitting tribute to such an iconic star and we would welcome any Swifties for a visit to see Loch Tay Tay for themselves. Thank you to the team at Heart Scotland for the new sign which creates a stunning selfie spot!”
