Planning a visit to Iceland in 2026? Save this post and read below! 🇮🇸

What started as me being trusted to book a European city break turned into a long weekend exploring the south coast of Iceland…technically, the hotel was in Reykjavik so it still counts…?

The plan was to rent a car and explore some of the lesser known spots, however due to strong winds throughout the visit we opted to go with a tour company instead.

We found who offered some great tours, and booked into a golden circle tour and a South Island / ice cave tour, ticking off some of the most popular “must-see” spots. These shots are all from the second day, exploring the south coast and Katla Ice Cave.

My absolute favourite stop was Skógafoss, a stunning 50m waterfall that I’ve wanted to visit for a long time and honestly, it far exceeded my expectations.

📸 All photos taken on A7iv and iPhone 17 Pro Max…which shot is your favourite??? 🤔

Save this post for your next Highlands retreat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This time of the year is made for cosy weekends with friends and family, and where better to spend them than the Scottish Highlands?

This is Craggiemhor, one of the ; it has 3 bedrooms, sleeps up to 8 and comes with a private hot tub and sauna - perfect for relaxing after a day of adventures!

Nestled within a forest on the hillside of Loch Ness, the cabins are the perfect retreat from nature lovers. The forest is the perfect place to spot red squirrels, and it’s only a 10-15 minute scenic walk through the trees to the Falls of Foyers, a stunning 43m waterfall.

We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return one day soon. This was also Sassi’s first time outside of the city in her whole 6 years, and she absolutely loved it just as much as the rest of us 🐶

Yesterday I finally bagged my first new Munro in 4 months - Lochnagar, in the southern Cairngorms.

Whilst often completed as a loop, I took a linear approach, following the truly stunning Loch Muick before beginning a relatively straightforward and well-tracked route to the summit and eventually returning the same way. The whole hike covered 15 miles and took around 7.5 hours (allowing for plenty of stops for photos and drone shots).

From the car park, the conditions were promising - blue skies at sunrise, a warm sun and some truly beautiful conditions…however as the day progressed and elevation was gained, visibility dropped significantly and temps reached lows of around -15°C.

Either way, it’s good to be back, and it was a great day to debut my new iphone 17 pro max camera, leaving the mirrorless at home. I’m really impressed by the quality you can shoot on it and am excited to get back to simple point and click, honest capturing of my hikes!

The best cloud inversion of 2025…so far?

Throwback to a great hike on Ben Donich, a Corbett near Arrochar, last month. This whole hike took under 4 hours, but the views were second to none.

Who else is holding out hope for some great inversions this winter season??

What a fantastic, wholesome weekend away with the family this was…staying in a stunning luxury cabin on the banks of Loch Ness.

Set within the Foyers woodland, the cabins offer a truly perfect escape for outdoor lovers. The Falls of Foyers are only a 10 minute walk away. The falls include a brilliant waterfall with a singular 140ft drop, which can be reached by following an incredibly scenic forest trail. This is also a fantastic place to spot red squirrels 🐿️

Once you’re done with a day of exploring, each of the cabins comes equipped with everything you’ll need to relax in style - including a hot tub, fire pit and personal sauna. I really enjoyed relaxing on the decking, which overlooks Loch Ness…giving you plenty of chances to spot even more of the ~rarer~ local wildlife 🦕 👀

Thanks so much to for an incredible stay; I can’t wait to return to someday! 🙏
