Five of my Favourite Spots in the Scottish Highlands and Islands to Explore During Winter
Happy New Year! I can't quite believe we are now in 2025! After a busy few months, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with my blog again.

I even shared some of my favourite books to

Throughout this time of year, I get a lot of questions about how to best deal with midges. If I'm being perfectly honest, I might not be the best person to ask about how to deal with midg
