Roaming Scotland

Roaming Scotland We run small group outings, prioritising exploring more on foot than on the road. We take you to the Martin is passionate about hill walking and adventuring.

I like to take people to the lesser trodden places to enjoy the very best of what Scotland, in all it's alluring wildness, has to offer . Encountering the ancient hill forts, Celtic chapels and standing stone circles on these travels has prompted research into our early history. He is willing to share, though wary not to bore, about Pictish warriors and Celtic saints. Martin is a published author,

and of relevance in this fusion of interests, are 'Z-Rod' and ‘A Clearing of the Mists’. Z-Rod is a novel set in the times when the adventurous Celtic saints came to the warrior cultures of the Picts. The other title draws on the spiritual connection with the landscape and the past, and the lessons learned from hill-craft. Martin and his wife, Alexandra, have also travelled overseas extensively and have lived 14 years in the Middle East and the Far East. We have appreciated kind hosts on these travels and would hope to better understand what it takes to make your visit that much more memorable. We have also run two guest house businesses in Scotland for 9 years. We very much want you to get the most out of your visit to Scotland, so be assured of a genuine and warm welcome.

A favourite view with many on our Roaming Scotland hikes, this time looking atmospheric in late autumnal mist

On my last trip of the season we stumbled across this exotic mossy place in deep Argyll. It looked like a fantasy set

Started this hike in the dark with a head torch to see the sunrise evolve on the ascent - some very magical minutes. The sun had already appeared by the time the summit was reached

Wishing we had such winters in Scotland. These semi frozen falls are a bonus to having a daughter who lives up the road from here in the States. #roaming_scotland #catskills #catskillsmountains #newyorkstate #newyorkstatephotos #waterfalls #waterfallhike #kaaterskillfalls

Quite an effort is required to reach these little known waterfalls in my home county of Clackmannanshire. It was worth persisting for the effect far exceeds what the tame location suggests. Even in Scotland's wee county during this lockdown, I'm still finding new places to delight in. The location says Kinross, but the River Devon at this point delineates the county boundary #roaming_scotland #roamingscotland #simplyscotland #visitscotland #scotland #scotland_ig #scotlandhighlands#scotlandhiking #clackmannanshire

Stumbled unknowingly upon this 'library', a log cabin above a wooded gorge. The rising wind brought to life this atmospheric place of poems, pictures and recorded memories. #roaming_scotland #roamingscotland #simplyscotland #scottishcollective #scotlandphotographer #scotland_greatshots #scotland_ig #scotlandlover #schottland #scottish #ecosse #scozia #scotland #scotlandtravel #scotlandshots #scottishfold #scottishislands #scotland_insta #scotlandexplore #scotlandphotography

In love with the wild side.

The most fun airport in the UK is on the Isle of Barra where the runway is the beach and the scheduled flight times are determined by low tides #roaming_scotland #roamingscotland #simplyscotland #scotlandphotographer #scotlandphotography #scottishislands #scotlandsites #scotlandtrip #scotlandtrip #scottishhighlands #scotlandsbeauty #scotlandhighlands #scotlandtravel #scotland #scotland_insta #scotlandexplore #visitscotland
