Scotland

Scotland isn’t just where we live — it’s where our love of travel truly began. From misty lochs and wild mountain trails to haunted graveyards, ancient castles, and windswept beaches, this land has shaped our stories in more ways than we can count.

We’ve hiked it, road-tripped it, camped it, and uncovered its darker history. And somehow, it still keeps surprising us.

Join us as we explore our own backyard, one legendary landscape, hidden gem, and ridiculous weather moment at a time.

Because there’s no place like home. Especially when home looks like this.
