One afternoon my husband and I were looking to get outside and explore some of the hills near Glasgow. Some research and planning on AllTrails showed me this interesting trail to something called ‘The Whangie’ in the Kilpatrick Hills. It looked like a super interesting rock formation that’s kind of unusual to see in the…
I’ve now done the Ben A’an walk twice (my most hiked walk in Scotland!) both from different starting points since the second time I tried to do this Scottish hike, the car park was full so we found another, completely deserted trail. While it’s not a quiet trail to do in Scotland, and not the…
Hiking Stuc a Chroin was my 3rd Munro, having climbed Ben Nevis and Ben Lomond in the month prior. Though my original plan was to hike Stuc a Chroin and Ben Vorlich in one go, I ended up just doing Stuc a Chroin and Beinn Each/Ben Each. The ups and downs on the Ben Each…
Ben Nevis is the tallest mountain in the UK at 1345 m high and doing the Ben Nevis hike is on many people’s bucket lists. It was definitely on mine and I recently got to climb Ben Nevis in early March to tick it off! Though we had no views at the top I feel…
If you’re looking for a hiking adventure in Scotland, then look no further than walking Ben Lomond, an easily achievable Munro (a hill over 3000 ft or 941m).

Scotland is home to some truly beautiful hills and mountains and…
When I was staying in Edinburgh for a month, I loved exploring the Pentland Hills Regional Park and finding some of the best walks in the Pentlands which are just outside of the city. This hilly area is located to the south of Edinburgh and quickly became one of my favourite places to explore. What…
If you’re an active traveller visiting Edinburgh, then walking Arthur’s Seat is an absolute must. Located in Holyrood Park, Arthur’s Seat is a landmark across Edinburgh, almost as famous and easy to recognise as Edinburgh Castle itself! Arthur’s Seat is the highest peak in the city of Edinburgh and offers breathtaking views of the city’s…
My husband and I have always been adventure enthusiasts who love hiking dates and exploring the outdoors together so I’ve plenty of experience when it comes to what to wear on hiking dates. When it came to planning our wedding, we knew exactly what we wanted – a hiking date! Yes, you read that right….
