Edinburgh Walking Routes | Hiking Scotland
Edinburgh is a city known for its ‘Seven Hills‘, which naturally offer a wide choice of hiking routes without leaving the city limits. However, hiking hills all the time isn’t for everybody, and even someone like myself who enjoys hiking,…
Ben A’an & Loch Katrine | Hiking Scotland
A few weeks ago, my best friend woke me up at 7am on the dot, with a very loud, bright “Guten Morgen” (she’s not German, I don’t know why she was speaking it). If anyone else did this to me,…
Exploring the Scottish Borders | Hiking Scotland
If you follow me over on Instagram, you might have noticed that last month all of my photos came from outside Edinburgh. I was visiting my parents (and exploring!) in the Scottish Borders for a few weeks. While staying there,…
Callander Crags, Trossachs | Hiking Scotland
I ventured out of Edinburgh for a hike this week, instead heading west to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. This is a beautiful area of Scotland, well worth exploring. I’ve been before, but there’s always new…

We seem to be getting a last wave of summer for the year this week! And I had days off, so I headed out to the Pentland Hills, for a quick hike to make the most of it.…
Craiglockhart Hills | Hiking Edinburgh
Europe’s been having a bit of a heatwave this week, which in Scotland translates to about 20 degrees celsius. I know, doesn’t sound much compared to other places, but for us, that’s fantastic. Everyone is going around in summer…
