Where to Feed Reindeer in Scotland

Where to Feed Reindeer in Scotland

When we decided to visit Inverness, we were interested to see where we could go in the Highlands. Our time in the area was short and we wanted to make the most of it. We were rather spontaneous with our day trips from Inverness and let brochures at each place give us ideas on where to go next (I love those stands of travel flyers!). There was a brochure on a Scottish reindeer park and it seemed like the perfect place for the girls. After all, who can pass up seeing reindeer in ... Read More

Where to See Highland Cows in Edinburgh

Highland Cows are popular in Scotland but you don't need to go to the Highlands to see them. This is where to see Highland Cows in Edinburgh!

I had a list of what I absolutely needed to do before we left Scotland and right at the top of the list was seeing Highland Cows up close. I had seen them from a distance--you just drive around the Highlands and you'll see them grazing at the side of the road--but we were getting strapped for time and couldn't really leave Edinburgh to chase the close encounter I was after. I found that I was feeling constantly panicked because my must-do list was shrinking by the day simply due to time ... Read More

Handmade Gifts Inspired by Travel

Handmade Gifts Inspired by Travel

I love travel and I love handmade and I know I can't be the only one. It's fun to get souvenirs and gifts during your travels or when someone brings you one back, but I think it's extra special to actually make a travel-inspired gift. I've rounded up some of my favourite handmade gifts inspired by travel that I've made over the last few years. Any of these would be great for the traveler in your life! I'm obviously madly in love with Scotland and I know so many other people are, too (and ... Read More

My love for Scotland has been on my mind lately and I wanted to create something to somewhat commemorate our time here.

I'm pretty much in love with the result! **This pattern is free and for personal use only.** Supplies: Scottish Thistle Cross Stitch Pattern DMC 208, 209, 3345, 3347, C550, ... Read More

A Day at Aberdour Castle

A Day at Aberdour Castle

Aberdour Castle is located in Fife, just over the water from Edinburgh. Parts of it could be Scotland's oldest standing castle with later additions added. If you're a fan of Outlander, you'll recognize it from the first season. Spending a day at Aberdour Castle is a worthy day trip from Edinburgh and an experience you won't be able to replicate in the city. From the immaculately kept kid-friendly grounds to the history inside the castle, you'll be glad you visited. The journey to Aberdour ... Read More

Verdant Works Jute Mill

Verdant Works Jute Mill

There are so many reasons I love exploring Scotland, but one of my favourites is that you can go almost anywhere and learn a super detailed and varied history. We have visited Dundee a handful of times since we moved to Edinburgh (it takes less than 1.5 hours by train) and it's easy to come up with reasons to go back. Most recently, we visited the Verdant Works Jute Mill. We spent a fascinating few hours there and could have easily spent longer. Verdant Works may not be at the top of your list ... Read More
