Finally, after the absolute riot that 2020 has been, something good happened in our lives. We bought a house! An actual, real, brick house. It’s kind of scary after years of travel and seasonal jobs, to be finally settling down in a place we’re going to call a permanent home. Settling down? What’s that?! Does …
And just like that, it’s December! I’d been planning to write a Christmas guide to Edinburgh since last Christmas, but given that virtually everything is cancelled this year, from Christmas markets to drinks at the Dome, it seems a little silly to write a post all about things that aren’t even happening. Edinburgh is still …
When we first moved to Edinburgh, we were privileged to live in our favourite neighbourhood that we’d been visiting for years: Leith. Leith is the sort of place that feels like its own complete entity despite being swallowed up by the city long ago to drop its port town roots. There’s a community here that …
Last Sunday, we took a walk to the other side of Edinburgh’s city centre to visit a market, bumped into some friends, took a walk into town with them, and grabbed a hot chocolate with a view of the castle before heading home again. It was, given the storm of 2020, a perfect day. It …
As the world continues to crumble around us, I can’t help but notice the beauty that emerges. The people standing up and trying to make the world a better place. Those who stand up for those who are not being heard. Amongst the chaos, there are still trickles of good in the world that, no …
Last month, we had planned a weekend trip to Perthshire – one of the only things we’d actually planned in advance this year, which was a slight risk – and I was excited to explore more of this part of Scotland. I’ve always enjoyed Perthshire – the shores of Kinloch Rannoch, the woodland paths around …
After a wonderful trip a few weeks ago, I have some important news: the Isle Of Mull might just be my new favourite place in Scotland! As with most trips this summer, our trip to Mull was fairly spontaneous, and although I was looking forward to seeing what Scotland’s fourth largest island had to offer, …
All throughout lockdown, I was jonesing for one type of trip in particular: a camping trip. I just wanted to park up near a loch or the bottom of a mountain and take our tent into the middle of nowhere and just be away from it all. I’ve always been a “west coast is best …
Considering I’ve now lived across the bridge from Fife for over eighteen months, I had seen very little of my neighbouring county until recently. The Kingdom Of Fife. It sounds so grand, doesn’t it? Truthfully, Fife has never really piqued my interest in the way that other places around Scotland have. Until last year, I …
After more than three months in lockdown, Scotland finally lifted their five mile travel limit at the beginning of July. Naturally, the first day we could go out, we went straight out to nature, and subsequently spent four weekends in a row roaring our way around some of Scotland’s hidden gems and underrated sites. If …
