An indie darling whose robust tale made a massive shovel-shaped imprint.
One of the most successful video game Kickstarters of all time, Shovel Knight pulled a shovel from a stone to become gaming royalty. Eventually spinning out into four total campaigns, the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove package contains dozens of hours of quality action platforming. But I want to focus on the original campaign, eventually titled Shovel of Hope, for it is here where the Shovel Knight legend begins and also where his blue armor shines brightest. This game represents a unique type of timelessness: it manages to look forward and back simultaneously. It’s hard to imagine the current bounty of independently-developed, nostalgia-fueled riches we have today without the efforts of the talented team at Yacht Club Games.

Mr Gallon, the activities manager at Skebo Castle in Sutherland, said the quarter franc coin found in a field near Fortrose and Rosemarkie means a solider returning from the Napoleonic Wars from France must have also been in the Highlands.
