When it comes to Scottish cities, it seems like Glasgow often falls to the wayside in favour of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh. To be honest with you (and this will come as no surprise), I do prefer Edinburgh; after all, I live here after years of yearning to move to the city. But it’s not to …
Last month, we finally crossed the border for the first time in eighteen months – over to the beautiful Lake District. I hadn’t been to the Lake District since I was eight years old, so my memory of it is patchy at best. I remember staying with my aunt & uncle and being allergic to …
The first time I visited Skye, we only spent 24 hours on the island, and quickly learned that a day is not enough. Of course, I knew that before we went – I just wanted to see some of the highlights before we headed further north. This time, we spent a full weekend there, which …
After a *very* busy few weeks, I have a lot to share, so let’s start with Assynt, which is quite possibly my favourite area of Scotland. (Although it’s a tough choice – I mean, you’ve seen Glencoe, right?) Assynt is just north of Ullapool in the north-west of Scotland, making it one of the more …
A couple of weeks ago, I climbed a mountain! It’s ridiculous that I hadn’t done this in so long, given the amount of mountains there are in Scotland and how easy it is to climb some of them. Lockdown has stripped me of all my fitness, so despite deciding I’d start tackling some more munros, …
If there’s one thing I LOVE doing, it’s finding abandoned buildings you can explore – and even better if they still have things inside to showcase the history. And even better again if they HAVE a lot of history. Scotland, luckily, has loads to choose from. Between some 3,000 castles and numerous abandoned stately homes, …
Exciting news, everyone – our lockdown is ending TOMORROW! It’s been a rough, rough, rough winter, having not been allowed to even leave Edinburgh since the beginning of November, almost a full six months ago. Full lockdown hit straight after Christmas, where we have been twiddling our thumbs and going increasingly insane ever since. And …
Edinburgh is a fantastic city for walking, whether it’s urban walks, viewpoints on hills, or even a walk across the sea to an island. I originally wrote this in lockdown while we were confined to our local areas – however I was thankful to be in Edinburgh, a city full to the brim with great …
Whenever someone asks where they should go in Scotland, my immediate answer is GLENCOE! (Complete with capitals and exclamation mark.) It’s a typical choice, and it’s one of the most popular places in Scotland. But as with many popular places, there is a damn good reason for it. I feel a little guilty as I’ve …
2020 was the year of staycations. 2021… is also going to be the year of staycations. If you’re wondering what a staycation is, the definition is a surprisingly controversial topic. For some, staycations are holidays within your own city; for others, they are holidays within your own country, whether it’s a hotel city break or …
