For many visitors to the Scottish Highlands each year, the best way to visit the Highlands and Islands is by hiring a car or campervan. Yet, for many, the experience of driving through the Scottish Highlands is less than ideal. With hundreds of miles of windy roads and many places only reachable by single track road, it can truly be a hair raising experience. When I first started coming to the Scottish Highlands when I still lived in Glasgow, it was such a big culture shock t

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. To kick off the New Year, I wanted to share some of my favourite places to explore during winter in the Scottish Highlands. This winter marks my 5th winter living in the Scottish Highlands (I know, I can't quite believe it either!) so I feel like I have enough experience to be able to share some of my favourite places to explor

It's coorie season, so what better to do at this time of year than settling in with a good book. Since moving to the Scottish Highlands, I've loved reading books about the Highlands and Islands. Whether its a fiction book set in an imagined Hebridean island, or a real life story of someone building an incredible life for themselves in the Scottish Highlands, I just can't get enough of books set in and around this part of the world. I even shared some of my favourite books to

It's that time of year again! With the heavy rain and warm(ish) tempretures right now in the Scottish Highlands, we've seen the return of the dreaded Scottish midge. These little beasties have a way of being a nuisance during what should be the warmest time of year in the Scottish Highlands. 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
