Scotland

Scotland is a mystical and enchanting country characterised by lochs inhabited by mythical monsters, some of the best natural scenery in the British Isles, the visceral whining of bagpipes, ubiquitous tartan fabrics and the curious sight of men in skirts. Welcome to the Land of the Scots.

Social Icons

driving alba

Driving Alba was a Summer road trip adventure driving across Scotland from Inverness in the Highlands and zig-zagging southward to the Scottish capital Edinburgh, with obligatory stops at the mythical Loch Ness and the summit of Ben Nevis - Scotland's iconic mountain and the highest in the United Kingdom.

edinburgh

This trip to Edinburgh was my first visit to the land of the Scots, arriving by train from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the last major English city before crossing the border into Scotland. Of course, this mere two-hour train journey didn't just take me to another city, but to another country entirely and, at the age of 21, only my second country!

glasgow

This was a city break to Glasgow, Scotland's masculine second city. Glasgow is characterised by heavy, uncompromising buildings as rugged and solid as any Scottish mountain. A saunter along the River Clyde doubles as a material journey from granite to metallic with a series of modern silvery constructions.

highlands & islands

This was a three-day trip around the Scottish Highlands & Islands. I set off of my own to join sixteen strangers in a little white tour van driven by Tim, a very friendly and very patriotic Scottish guide. This was a journey punctuated by incredible viaducts, spectacular landscapes, hairy cows and men in skirts.
