A tiny area of Edinburgh but with such a huge amount of history, and its very own loch!
From the little Duddingston Kirk, which will celebrate its 900th birthday next year and has its very own anti-grave robbing tower. To the reputedly oldest pub in Scotland from 1360, the Sheep Heid Inn and slightly newer house that in 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie held his war council during the Jacobite uprising. And all in a 5 minute walk.
Sparkling in the sun today!
Don't you just love a wellie boot garden!! A great little stop on any trip to Fife.
Harry Potter fun and games at Alnwick Castle. All ready for the broomstick training lesson!!
A great visit and just a short hop over the border from Scotland.
The Scottish summer is here - hopefully we won't blink and miss it this year 😂
Doune Castle looking stunning in the sun. As well as a great historical visit, it's been used as an iconic filming location many times.
What a great adventure white water rafting yesterday with The weather was perfect and Lou was a fantastic rafting guide.
It certainly wasn't a gentle meander down the river, however only looking at the photos do I realise quite how close we were to tipping out, especially on the last rapid 😬
Always gives me a giggle - the Duke of Wellington in his fancy hat!!
Done! - first hill of our 7 Hills Walk of Edinburgh today. 30+ people, 7 hills, 17 miles and an aim to raise £10k for Marie Curie Edinburgh Hospice in memory of my amazing Interpath colleague Mark Davidson.
If you can help support the hospice it would be amazing ❤️. Details of how to donate are in the Bio
Beautiful Bellagio 😍
Enjoying a little break away from Scotland exploring northern Italy.
A few more snaps from our Northumberland trip earlier this week. The tides were on our side so we got across the causeway to the Holy Island. Visited Lindesfarne Priory where St Aidan came from Iona in 635AD to establish the monastery. Mind blowing history 🤯
A wee trip across the border today to in Northumberland
Amazing history and regularly used as a filming location 🎥 Look out for it featuring in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny due out this summer.
Cherry blossom in full bloom in Edinburgh just now. My favourite time of the year!
As well as amazing whisky, they also have amazing surroundings. It's well worth taking the time for a wee bit of fresh air to explore the countryside when visiting the distillery.
The beautiful Corran Lighthouse. I love taking the wee car ferry across Loch Linnhe to the lighthouse and then driving up the west side of the loch. Gutted to hear that the ferry crossing and been suspended for the next few weeks due to technical issues.
Tours
Glencoe - never fails to take my breath away 🤩
Ben Nevis snow peaked and for once not shrouded in clouds this weekend.
Seen here from Highland Soap Co in Fort William (which has the most amazing café!), Neptune's Staircase and the roadside on the west of Loch Linnhe.
Chasing Heilan Coos around the fields at Kilchurn Castle on our way to Oban 🐂!!
Crocuses (or it is Croci!!) are in abundance down on The Meadows. Don't you just love springtime?
This little chapel is all that remains of the once huge friary in St. Andrews, which was built from the early 1500s. The friars were very involved with St Andrews University and 25 books from the friars library still survive. See the next photo for a depiction of how large the friary would have been (courtesy of Historic Scotland)
Almost at the end of our Californian adventure. We've loved exploring the LA, Santa Monica and Venice Beach areas over the last few days. We finished off with a surf lesson in very 'Scottish' weather of rain and hail!! I think it's nature's way of acclimatising us for heading home. Back to touring beautiful Scotland next week 😍
A great wee weekend jaunt to London for some mother and daughter time. Blessed with clear blue skies all weekend and some amazing food 😍
Happy Lunar New Year from China Town in London
The 'One O'clock Gun' at Edinburgh Castle and snowy views over the city. It was so cold yesterday we weren't going to hang around for 2 hours to see it being fired!
A beautiful snowy start at Dalhousie Castle this morning
A refreshing coastal walk from Yellow Craigs to Gullane today. Looking at those innocent blue skies you'd never think it was blowing a hooly and bitterly cold! Just stunning though.
walk
Working off some of the Christmas excesses on a deserted Seacliff Beach today.
Walking a section of The John Muir Way on a wintery day, with a wee detour into Newhailes House Estate.
The Way runs for 134 miles from his birthplace of Dunbar on the east coast to Helensburgh on the west coast. Muir left Dunbar at the age of 11 to go to the US and became fondly known as The Father of the National Parks.
Winter walks.
Winter sunset.
Feeling festive with the first snow of the winter.

Who stole summer?!! After a glorious few weeks of sunshine, the Scottish weather has returned it would seem! #scotland #summer #scottishsummer #scottishsummertime #lochlomond #rain #loch
An unexpected treat today at the Palace of Holyrood House. The Palace is closed this week as the Lord High Commissioner is in residence for the Church of Scotland General Assembly. Today we watched the changing of the guard which they do every 2 hours. #holyrood #holyroodpalace #palaceofholyroodhouse #Churchofscotland #generalassembly #royalmile #edinburghtour #Edinburgh #kilt #kilts #meninkilts #changingoftheguard

We've completed our road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. What a blast. From San Francisco, through Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, Peeble Beach, Carmel, the Big Sur, McWay Falls, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Solvang, Sunshine Winery, Santa Barbara, Malibu and finally to our new base of Santa Monica. We've seen some amazing sights (sea otters definitely my favourite 😍) and eaten very well.

The old pack horse bridge at Carrbridge looks way older than its 305 years!! Built in 1717 to cross the River Dulnain, it was damaged in floods in 1829, so all that remains is what you can see today. #iloveedinburghtours #ilovescotland #lovescotland #scotlandlove #scotlandtour #scottishtour #scotland #explorescotland #simplyscotland #hiddenscotland #thisisscotland #scotlandshots #scotshots #scottishtours #beautifulscotland #tourscotland #scottishtourism #highlandstour #scottishhighlandstours #visitscotland #thisisscotland #scotlandsnapshots #carrbridge #scottishhighlands #oldbridge #bridge #outstandingbridges

Wow, what a journey on the Jacobite steam train today (AKA the Harry Potter train nowadays!). Thrilled to get last minute tickets* and finally experience this iconic trip. #iloveedinburghtours #scotlandtour #scottishtour #scottishtours #scottishtourism #visitscotland #thisisscotland #scotlandsnapshots #scottishsnapshots #jacobite #jacobitesteamtrain #jacobitetrain #glenfinnanviaduct #glenfinnan #fortwilliam #mallaig #steamtrain #tripofalifetime #iconicjourneys *every day there are some tickets set aside that the guard sells on a first come basis for cash. We were there just over an hour before the train left, joined the queue and got seats no problem. At present the pre-booked tickets are sold out until the end of August.
