With the food expectations bar set at a romantically reminiscent high, and walking expectations right up there with it, it was fitting that some thirty years after first awakening our taste buds, Scotland should receive pride of place as our first UK gastro-hiking destination […]
We followed country lanes and cautiously crossed fields populated by curious cows and pudgy-faced Texel sheep to reach an exquisitely beautiful and evocative little spot which was the location of a covenanters’ (Scottish Presbyterians) graveyard. […]
We ponder whether to stay or walk the section of the West Highland Way which will lead us to Inverarnan. But we’ve got all the right gear so there’s no real reason to hide away from a wee bit rain and wind. […]
Scotland is a country blessed with a natural larder overflowing with the sort of produce which should have gourmets slevering at the mouth. On a mini tour of Scotland we enjoyed as good and varied food as we’ve eaten in many a European country […]

Being part of a good value tour of the Scottish Highlands package, we didn’t expect much from Mackay’s Hotel and were really quite surprised when it exceeded expectations in a number of areas. […]
I just love this statue in Buchanan Street bus station in Glasgow – it speaks of innocence, of hope, of travel, of desperately missing those you love and that most romantic of movie visions… […]
