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…

First Trip to the Isle of Skye | Scotland
It’s certainly been a few years since I explored another of Scotland‘s islands, or indeed, took any weekend trips around my own country! Having previously ventured to Arran, Islay and Mull, the obvious next island of the Inner Hebrides on…
Isle of Arran Day Trip | Scotland
The Isle of Arran sits just off the west coast of Scotland, tucked into the Firth of Clyde. A friend and I took a weekend trip to the island, and nearby Ayrshire recently. This is, therefore, the first of two…
Braid Burn | Morningside to Holyrood | Hiking Edinburgh
First of all, “hiking” is an exaggeration here, as the Braid Burn is on level ground, so it’s really just a long walk. But for the sake of organisational purposes on the blog here, it’s easiest to include this in…
Turnhouse Hill, Pentlands | Hiking Edinburgh
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.…
