📍 Deacon Brodies Tavern

My absolute favorite for traditional Scottish food and pub experiences. This is the exact place where l've tried my first ever 'Haggis Tatties Neeps' roughly 8 years ago. Ever since I keep coming for it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏻

Right in the heart of Edinburgh's Old town this place offers cute authentic interiors, delicious food and very reasonable prices.

And there's great story behind it's name. The pub is named after one of the city's most famous sons, Deacon William Brodie - one of the inspirations behind Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde.

Tucked away at the foot of the Royal Mile lies a 17th-century secret. 🐎

Step into 📍White Horse Close, a beautifully restored courtyard that was once the bustling inn for the London-to-Edinburgh stagecoach. It’s a stunning glimpse into the city's historic travel hub!

Today, the close is a peaceful residential area, so please be mindful and respectful of the locals who call it home.

Dreamy getaway at the Stratheck Holiday Park, Argyll Holidays! ✨

We spent a few amazing days in this cozy 2-bedroom cottage nestled between Benmore and Loch Eck. 🏔️ The park is set in a stunning mountainside location, just a short distance from Dunoon within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. 🌲

Our cottage details: 🏠

· 2 bedrooms 🛌
· Pet-friendly 🐾
· Fully equipped kitchen, including a dishwasher and washing machine 🍽️
· A cozy sitting room with a fireplace for warm nights 🔥
· 2 bathrooms 🚿
· Private decking with a fire pit and a hot tub ✨
· Sleeps 4 and is absolutely perfect for a family holiday! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Our Itinerary: 🗓️

· Day 1: Travel with stops for scenic views at Balloch (Loch Lomond), Arrochar (Loch Long), and the Rest and Be Thankful commemorative stone. 🚗 After check-in, we enjoyed a cozy evening with a home-cooked dinner 🍝, hot tub relaxation 💆‍♀️, and a movie. 🎬
· Day 2: Explored Strachur, Old Castle Lachlan 🏰, and Puck's Glen. The last one is absolutely breathtaking, featuring moderate terrain on just over a 2 km loop. 🌳 Tip: take the path to the left from the car park and turn right before the bridge to walk by the water. This will lead to an upstream walk with the best views of the waterfalls. 💦
· Day 3: Hiked up Beinn Mhor. 🥾 This one is quite challenging and will take between 4.5 to 5 hours. ⏱️ Later, we visited the Hunters Quay sister resort for a pre-booked archery class. 🎯 They have numerous activities for different ages, but check the calendar beforehand. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna facilities 🏊‍♀️, all free of charge as part of our stay with Argyll Holidays.
· Day 4: Checked out, visited Benmore botanical garden (just a 2-minute drive) 🌷, and stopped for amazing views of Loch Eck at Jubilee Point. 😍

Tip: If you're traveling as a couple, check out the Stratheck Escape Pods. 💑 These sleep 2 and also have a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, upstairs bedroom, and a private decking with a hot tub.

Idyllic 📍Dean Village in Edinburgh

Forget Disney villages: this romantic 12th-century neighborhood is the real deal. Follow a
narrow cobblestone lane along the Water of Leith for postcard-perfect views of old mill
remains and storybook architecture, especially the red sandstone Well Court. Bonus points if
it’s a traditionally gray Scottish day!

Local tip:
Be respectful of the residents; don’t enter private courtyards

One of my favorite spots, often missed by most despite being right in the heart of Edinburgh. Iconic ruins of St Anthony's Chapel standing guard, offers a glimpse into the city's ancient past, all under the watchful gaze of Arthur's Seat. A perfect blend of natural beauty and haunting history. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A whirlwind of social highlights lately! 😅

1-3. Vegan Wine Tasting at Courtesy of my friend , who is clearly on a mission to convert me. The incredible food and wines are making it dangerously difficult to resist her plot!

4-6. Store Opening on Princes Street: So great to see high-end brands returning to the street. The event concluded with a watchmaking masterclass, which was a fantastic, hands-on experience.

7-10. ‘Night of Chicago Blues’ at the : Joined for a night celebrating the city’s rich blues heritage. The incredibly talented Michael Dalamani brought so much vibrant energy. We also got the lowdown on Chicago’s event scene—they are packed with festivals, especially from autumn through winter. Definitely check out for inspiration!

11-13. Opening: Another brilliant opening, this time on George Street, as Sunspel launched its first Scottish store. They treated us to amazing drinks from their friends at the —a very classy welcome.

14. ‘How to kill a Witch’ by .of.scotland : I missed the launch event, but I’m so glad I managed to get a copy. I literally can’t put it down. It delves into the darkest pages of Scottish history with a wonderfully witty and sarcastic tone. This book will make you question, learn, and undoubtedly appreciate.
15-18. Tasting at : Celebrating their Lighthouse 2025 release, only 1800 bottles were made at £75. I highly recommend it. Despite my usual aversion to peat, this was exceptionally smooth. A complex whisky (from a mix of First Fill Bourbon, Oloroso, PX, and Bordeaux casks), it offers treacle toffee, chocolate, dried fruits, and soft peat—the perfect Christmas dram. Notably, its global retail partners helped select the final liquid for the first time.

19-20. Mushroom Picking : A little present from me to me! Saw the brochure in the shop and booked. They hold these foraging trips annually, so if you’re keen to learn, keep an eye out for the next one. Also included: morning coffee, transfer and packed lunch
