Surprise – I just returned from ICELAND!! Yes, after a long, long two and a half years, I finally set foot outside the UK, and I absolutely made the most of every second. If you follow me on social media, you’ll know about some of the trip already – I went with a friend who …
This year has been all about the scenic landscapes of the UK – Skye, the Outer Hebrides, the Lake District, and finally, we made it to Wales to check out whether Snowdonia National Park really is as beautiful as the rest of them. Spoiler alert: it is. Snowdonia is home to Mount Snowdon, the highest …
Last month, we finally embarked on a trip to the Outer Hebrides – a very unintentionally overlooked area of Scotland for us. I was particularly excited to see the legendary beaches of Harris, along with iconic historical sites such as the Callanish Stones and the Gearrannan blackhouse village on Lewis. It’s also one of the …
We just returned a couple of weeks ago from a fantastic trip to Lewis & Harris – our long-overdue first visit to the Outer Hebrides. I’d meant to do this post pretty much straight away, but apparently planning a wedding takes precedent over absolutely everything else in your life, taking up far more of your …
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, …
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 …
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 …
