Hot off the heels from my trip to the Inner Hebrides this summer, here is my suggested itinerary for the Isles of Mull, Iona and Skye. I had so much fun exploring this part of the world and it has left me eager to go back and explore more of the Scottish Isles. I suggestContinue reading “Travelling to Scotland: Five Day Itinerary for the Isles of Skye, Mull and Iona”

Visiting the Isles of Iona and Staffa
I had heard of the Isle of Iona and its powers of rejuvenation before I went to Scotland. It’s a deeply spiritual and sacred place and there is a strong sense of peace when you arrive. It’s very quiet: even with the visitors arriving, the sounds of them seem to be swallowed up by theContinue reading “Visiting the Isles of Iona and Staffa”
Autumn Walks on the Beach
ICYMI: summer is coming to end. Pumpkin spice is in the air, jumpers and scarfs are being rescued from the backs of wardrobes and under beds. Soon, we will be saying to each other “hey isn’t it getting dark so much earlier now… when do the clocks change again?” So, this may seem like aContinue reading “Autumn Walks on the Beach”
What I learnt on my last solo trip
As I’ve said in previous blog posts, I’m a big fan of going solo when travelling. Two weeks ago I went on my first solo-trip in over two years: I was up in Scotland visiting the Isles of Mull, Skye and Iona. I loved it but now I’ve had a bit of time at homeContinue reading “What I learnt on my last solo trip”
Scotland Road Trip: Glasgow to Oban
Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city (and I would say it’s most vibrant), has so much to offer including fantastic restaurants, bars and coffee shops, museums such as the Kelvingrove, the botanical gardens, as well as countless beautiful walking trails. But, if you fancy a day trip away from the city, I recommend this road trip itineraryContinue reading “Scotland Road Trip: Glasgow to Oban”
A day in Tobermory, Isle of Mull
Visit Duart Castle and learn about Lady’s Rock After your bowl of porridge or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, start the day off with a trip to a castle – how very Scottish. Duart Castle, the seat of Clan Maclean, is an imposing sight overlooking where the Sound of Mull meets Loch Linnhe. You canContinue reading “A day in Tobermory, Isle of Mull”
Reasons Why I Love Solo Travel
Hopefully when this post is published, I will be off on my first solo adventure in years: I’m going island hopping in Scotland! I’ll be visiting the Isles of Mull, Skye and Iona, which are all completely new to me. I’m hoping I see some puffins, some gorgeous blue sea and maybe even a littleContinue reading “Reasons Why I Love Solo Travel”
In defence of group travel
Yesterday I listened to an episode of the Women Who Travel podcast called ‘Remembering How to Solo Travel Again’ and in it they discussed going on a group tour. I have had some great past experiences on group tours but I know that some people are hesitant at the idea of it. This might beContinue reading “In defence of group travel”
York (Part 1?)
York is absolutely jam packed full of brilliant places to eat, fun things to do and see. In this post I have picked three of my favourite places to eat, get a drink, and go see. Now there are hundreds, if not thousands, of places to eat and see in York so I know thisContinue reading “York (Part 1?)”
The North-Norfolk Coastline
All this sunshine has got me thinking about going to the beach. The Norfolk coast is one of my favourite places to go and see the sea (because we all need to see the sea sometimes). I have some very happy childhood memories of plunging into the North Sea in Happisburgh (which is actually pronouncedContinue reading “The North-Norfolk Coastline”
