The Highland Connection
There is something deep within the psyche of the Scots that binds them to the land of their birth like an invisible, golden umbilical cord. Indeed the further we travel from home, the drums beat a little harder, hastening the heartbeat through our bodies, urging us back like proverbial frogs returning to where we were …

Discovering Dublin
Well I have to say in all honesty, when we first arrived in Dublin, it wasn’t what I had been expecting. I had heard there were pubs, clubs and restaurants galore with people spilling out on to the street all full of Guinness and the ‘craic’. Here I was thinking we would just step off …

The natural wonders of Loch Lomond
I have always had a deep affection for Loch Lomond in Scotland. It’s one of those magical places I try to visit when I ‘come home’ just so I can reconnect and breathe in the majesty of my surroundings. I actually feel a physical and emotional (maybe even spiritual) sense of calm wash over me …

Sizzling in the summer sun – in Ireland
I know, it’s not a headline you read too often, but it happens. On our recent trip to Ireland somehow we managed to pick the time of the heatwave and we saw Ireland in a light we never expected. In basking hot, sizzling, tar melting sunlight. We were ready for the grey, dreich days, sideways …

Indulgence weekend in London
It’s become a bit of a tradition that whenever my sister, my daughter and myself are in the same hemisphere at the same time, we grab some quality time together. It’s important to me that my daughter, who has lived in Australia since she was seven, is able to connect with family so she has …

Breathtaking Bohemian Break
With four whole days to ourselves over the Easter break we decided we really should make the most of it and visit somewhere in Europe. After ruling Ireland and Rome out (given the fact it was Easter) we decided to go somewhere we actually knew very little about. Prague, or Praha as it is pronounced, …

Quietly ecstatic about Skara Brae
We only actually had three days in The Orkney Islands, but I feel I could enthuse endlessly about this magical and mysterious landscape. I can’t help thinking these islands reward you for being the type of traveller who is looking for something beyond the fleeting memories of sun, sea and sangria. This place isn’t a …

The mysterious Maeshowe
I just knew I was going to fall in love with these remote islands sitting between Norway and Scotland’s mainland. ‘How did you know this?’ I hear you cry. Well quite simply because The Orkney Islands bring together many of my favourite things in life; history, archaeology– oh – and the Scottish landscapes and welcoming …

Discover The Orkney Islands
If you are one of those people who have fleetingly entertained the idea of The Orkney Islands as a possible destination for exploration but you haven’t got around to it yet – then I’m here to give you the virtual push you need. I’ll admit I am slightly bias for all things Scottish, …

Paradise in Plockton
It’s the morning of our first full day in Kyle of Lochalsh. We sit down to yet another Scottish breakfast, absolving ourselves of the guilt by saying won’t eat lunch today to compensate. If you haven’t sampled the delights of a full Scottish breakfast, then prepare your stomach for a generous serving of eggs, back bacon, …
