A collection of Scottish businesses that sell beautifully crafted jewellery. These would be great gift ideas too! All of these designs are sold on Etsy.

A collection of different books for all ages. All of these books and activity books all have a theme surrounding the UK

A curated list of accommodation in Edinburgh. I have tried to include different budgets and different “vibes” across the city. Personally, I would opt for an apartment in Edinburgh for a more authentic local experience. All of these below are centrally located and a good base to explore the city.

If are travelling to the UK soon, these are the mobile apps I would recommend you download prior to your trip. I have also included helpful, practical websites you might need to use.

Indulge in a leisurely afternoon of tea, finger sandwiches and clotted cream scones. I have included a list of locations throughout the UK.

If you're visiting the UK for the first time read this post. I always recommend a minimum of three nights in London and three nights in Edinburgh. Getting around the UK is easy and there is a lot to take in.

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander book and TV series has created a huge influx of visitors to Scotland. Come to Scotland and see for yourself some dramatic castles, ancient standing stones and bonnie landscapes. This post contains locations used in the filming production and other locations in Scotland that are “outlander inspired” alongside the real historical locations mentioned in the series. *I can't guarantee you'll run into Jamie Fraser though!

If you're visiting Scotland add these items to your packing list. My top tip - be prepared for the ever changing weather!

A list of books that I recommend if you're interested in Scottish history & culture and food.
