Glasgow is a fun city in Scotland that’s full of history, culture and fun things to do. I recently spent a month living in Glasgow and I’ve visited the city several times so I’ve come to know the city pretty well. Every time I find I visit I find something new and take the time…
As part of our year of travel where we’re trying to figure out where to live more permanently, we spent a month living in Glasgow following our month in Edinburgh. We have some friends that moved there who could show us around and we were interested to see what Glasgow had to offer. It turns…
Stirling is a relatively small city about an hour away from both Glasgow and Edinburgh with plenty of history. It also sits at the gateway to the Highlands and is a short drive away from one of Scotland’s National Parks; Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. One of the city’s most significant landmarks is…
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in Scotland. It is home to great Loch Lomond walking routes and trails, stunning lochs including Loch Lomond itself, and so many gorgeous Scottish landscapes just waiting to be discovered. I recently spent three months living in various parts of…
Callander is a super pretty town that sits just inside Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park in the UK.

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is undoubtedly home to some of Scotland’s prettiest landscapes.

I loved staying in…
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…
