Lochs and Mountains in the rearview mirror Sadly our road trip was now drawing to a close. Fewer lochs and mountains, time to head back south to Hastings again. We woke to bright blue skies. A classic crisp, chilly morning, with even a sprinkling of snow on the roof! Welcome […]

Back to mainland Scotland again… It was time to start our journey to Glencoe on the mainland of Scotland. We’d travelled down from Staffin, staying for our last night on Skye by the Skye Bridge at Kyleakin. This would be our route over back to the mainland of Scotland for […]
Heading south on Skye Our time at Staffin and Skye was drawing to a close. We’d had a great time, very relaxing. Now it was time to head south, ready to head back to mainland Scotland once again. We thought we’d spend some time in Portree and visit Broadford on […]
Road trips are great for the soul… They are also good for inspiration too! The road trip to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland in our vintage VW camper van continues on the stunning Isle of Skye. Our travels took us further up the northeast coast on the Isle of […]
The fabulous Fairy pools and Neist point The landscape and scenery of Skye are iconic and world-famous. None more so than the beautiful Fairy pools in Glen Brittle, nestled in the epic Cuillin Mountain range. We had heard from locals, that this is one of the most popular places to […]
Next stop the Isle of Skye… Island life again! Having spent a couple of days in Fort William for our special steam railway journey to Mallaig on the amazing Jacobite steam train, it was time to hit the road again. We wanted to head further north to the Isle of Skye. […]
Changing from petrol to steam power! With our time on Mull over, it was time to relax and enjoy the scenic ferry trip back over to Oban on the mainland of Scotland. Sad to be leaving Mull in many ways, but exciting times ahead, more to explore and do on […]
Making the most of our time on Mull. Having visited the beautiful Eas Falls waterfalls and enjoyed the fantastic scenery of Calgary Bay, we now had a brief stopover in Tobermory, the capital of Mull. Nice not to have to rush around on our last day on Mull. It was […]
The awesome road trip rolls on Having had a good time visiting the Isle of Iona for the day, our next decision was where to go next? Eas Fors and Calgary Bay were a couple of spots that I had in mind. Both of which involved water. I think growing […]
Island hopping to Iona. Visiting Mulls spiritual neighbour Getting to the final destination on a road trip is as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. This is seriously the case on the Isle of Mull as we headed to Iona. The roads and landscape are just […]
The Magnificent Island of Mull. Memory making on Mull. Initially, we’d thought Lochbuie might be a one-night stopover for us on the way to other places on the Island of Mull. However, we both fell in love with the area as soon as we arrived. Initially, we were thinking of […]
The Lochbuie experience Being able to catch the earlier ferry to Mull was a real win. Not only did we witness a beautiful sunset, but be we also still had some late evening sunshine to drive in when we arrived. A big help when driving on the unfamiliar ‘interesting’ winding […]
