Three years with my SO calls for a (government sanctioned) mini-escape to the beach. We headed out towards Dunbar, in East Lothian, to explore the John Muir Country Park. The country park marks one end of the John Muir Way, which runs across the central belt of Scotland. Perhaps next year we’ll walk it! View […]

Stirling with it’s rolling hills and loch, and now Victoria, with its private gardens (coming soon!), forest and trails to the beach! I have a very bipolar timetable that either leaves me either rushing […]
