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… Continue reading Post-Lockdown Adventures: 4 Weekend Trips In Scotland

An Anniversary Trip – Staying In A Castle In Argyll & Bute
In happier times, we celebrated our ten year anniversary. Ten. YEARS! It's hard to believe it was only a few months ago, in January, that we set off from Edinburgh for a weekend of rare luxury in a castle over on the west coast of Scotland. It was an area I've never visited either, so… Continue reading An Anniversary Trip – Staying In A Castle In Argyll & Bute
50 Photos To Make You Want To Visit Edinburgh
I'm not going to lie... I've been really lacking motivation recently. Not just for the blog, but for virtually everything in my life. I thought I was okay. I could see light at the end of the tunnel, and I still can, but it feels like we're wading through treacle trying to get there. I've… Continue reading 50 Photos To Make You Want To Visit Edinburgh
Photo Friday: Glasgow Street Art & Mural Trail
It's been a while since I did a Photo Friday post, and it's been hard to build up the motivation to look through travel photos when we don't know when we'll ever be able to travel again, let alone with everything that has been going on in our lives personally. On that note, I wanted… Continue reading Photo Friday: Glasgow Street Art & Mural Trail
A Camping Guide To The North Coast 500 In Scotland
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland, with a focus on the famous North Coast 500 route. We were doing it all on a budget, which meant taking my car and camping in a tent as we went.

A Day On Skye (Which Is Definitely Not Enough)
When we started planning our North Coast 500 trip, I knew we needed to make a detour over to Skye. After all, I've lived in Scotland (on and off) for 30 years... ...and had NEVER been there!! When people plan a trip to Scotland, it's as if there are only two destinations here: Edinburgh and… Continue reading A Day On Skye (Which Is Definitely Not Enough)
15 Quirky & Unique Places To Eat & Drink In Edinburgh
We've lived in Edinburgh for just over a year now, and in that time I've cultivated a solid list of favourite pubs, bars and eateries. While Glasgow certainly ticks all the nightlife boxes and gets most of the attention on that front, it's for that reason that I'd like to share some of Edinburgh's quirky,… Continue reading 15 Quirky & Unique Places To Eat & Drink In Edinburgh
Glencoe Hikes, Glenfinnan Bridges & Scottish Castles
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland. My friend had wanted to do the North Coast 500 road trip; and being that she had never been to Scotland outside of Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure we hit up some of the highlights of my beautiful… Continue reading Glencoe Hikes, Glenfinnan Bridges & Scottish Castles
2019: My Year In Review
2019 has been all about the next huge step of our lives. It's been about accepting the end of long-term travel adventures and embracing the new adventure of finding our forever home. For us, it was always going to be Edinburgh. We've been low-key planning to move to Edinburgh for pretty much the past decade… Continue reading 2019: My Year In Review
Photo Friday: 40 Amazing Views From The NC500 Road Trip In Scotland
"I can't believe how many mountains there are in Scotland!" my friend squealed as we turned another corner to yet another amazing view. The North Coast 500 had blown both of us away - my friend, because she hadn't visited Scotland outside of Edinburgh and had no idea how beautiful it all is; and me,… Continue reading Photo Friday: 40 Amazing Views From The NC500 Road Trip In Scotland
