Where to Eat and Drink in Glasgow
For the short period of time that I was in Glasgow, I did my best to sample as much of the food and drink as I could. Although I didn’t focus on this during my visit, it’s good to note that Glasgow is one of the most vegan friendly cities in the UK! I’ve never…

Best Small-Group Day Tours Out Of Glasgow
I’ve said it before, but I am of the firm belief that Glasgow is an underrated city! Not only does the city itself have wonderful attractions, but it also makes for a great launching point for day tours out to the rest of the country. I selected a few of my favorite tour options that…

A Soggy Day Trip To the Isle of Skye
One of the things I heard over and over on my recent trip to Scotland was that this was the worst summer they’d had in over a decade. Always happy to be involved in historical events, I guess. Luckily, I’m of the mindset that there’s no bad weather- just bad outfits! Unfortunately, on the day…

Why Glasgow Should Be on Your Travel Radar
I’m calling it- Glasgow is criminally underrated. Less than an hour from Edinburgh, it sees far fewer tourists despite having a ton to offer and a vibrant culture. I visited Glasgow for the first time recently, and was kicking myself for not spending more time in this city. The museums are particularly nice, and you…

Things to Do in Inverness Scotland
Scotland’s Northernmost city, Inverness is the perfect launching point for most tours of the Scottish Highlands- some of my favorite scenery in the world. Inverness, meaning “Mouth of the River Ness”- yes that Ness, of Loch Ness Monster Fame, is bisected by the river from which it gets its name, which offers some lovely strolls…

Scotland By Train
One of the nice things about visiting Scotland is that they have an extensive train system to transport people around most of their major cities with ease- no cars needed. This is especially convenient as Scotland drives on the left side of the road, and I’m much more comfortable driving on the right! ScotRail The…

Hotel Review- Inverness: Inverglen Guest House
Despite how often I travel, I very rarely find the opportunity to stay in a B&B. Inverness, for some reason, seemed to have more B&Bs than hotels! Somewhere between an Airbnb and a hotel, B&Bs- or guest houses- are typically singular houses with each room being rented out to different guests. An on call host…

The Best Places to Grab a Pint in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a gorgeous city with tons to offer for first time visitors and locals alike. On my second visit to this city I was on a mission, nay, a journey, to experience Edinburgh through its many pubs and local watering holes. I loved hopping from pub to pub and experiencing the unique atmosphere in…
