Breakfast Stop in the Scottish Highlands: The Real Food Café, Tyndrum We rolled into the little Highland village of Tyndrum early in the morning, following the A82 winding through rugged hills and dripping with Scotland’s mist. Tyndrum isn’t just “another stop-over” — tucked in the heart of the Highlands, it’s a key waypoint on the […]

A Scenic Descent: Cruising from Glencoe to Stirling via the A82 When I looked at our next staging-point, I realised: our Scotland journey was about to shift gears. Up until now, it felt like a whirlwind—every day packed with sights, activities, and one destination after another. Then I thought to myself, “Hang on… maybe we

A Serene Stop at Glencoe: One Evening Unwinding in the Highlands Scotland was moving fast, every day a new adventure. We were ticking off sights like some sort of travel checklist, rushing, marvelling, and moving on before we could even catch our breath. And then, midway through our trip, I thought, “Maybe we could slow

Arrival & First Impressions From the moment we started hunting for somewhere to stay in the Glencoe area, I knew we had to get it just right. I spent practically the whole day scanning listings, reading reviews and imagining how our stay might unfold. Then I stumbled across this place: a bungalow run by The Hollytree

Steall Waterfall: A Hidden Highland Gem at the Foot of Ben Nevis When you head to the Scottish Highlands, one mountain immediately commands attention: Ben Nevis. Standing proudly at 1,345 metres, it’s the tallest in the UK. For perspective, it’s taller than Korea’s Seoraksan, but a bit lower than Hallasan. Yet, Ben Nevis isn’t just

Glenfinnan Viaduct: My Harry Potter Steam Train Adventure Leaving Skye behind, I had one mission in mind: see the famous “Harry Potter train” cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The drive from Skye took exactly two hours, and I had calculated perfectly to arrive at 10:35am, just ten minutes before the steam train was due to pass

Turned Back Five Minutes From Neist Point — Then Found Magic at Quiraing After almost reaching Neist Point but being turned away at the very last moment, we decided to move on to Quiraing. Despite the nearly two-hour drive from Neist Point, I had always promised myself that Quiraing would be a must-see on Skye

Neist Point in the Blink of an Eye: How Our Family Vacated Five Minutes from the Finish Line We piled ourselves into the car after a hearty seafood feast at The Oyster Shed in Carbost, full and happy, and set off for the renowned highlight of the Isle of Skye – Neist Point. That was

The Oyster Shed: A Seafood Treasure on the Isle of Skye Before every trip, I have a little ritual: hunting for the best local eats. Since our latest adventure was to Scotland’s enchanting Isle of Skye, my radar naturally zoomed in on seafood. Of course, seafood isn’t cheap, so I was keen to find a

Eilean Donan Castle: A Scottish Fairytale Come to Life During our Scottish adventure, there was one place I absolutely had to see: Eilean Donan Castle. Located at Dornie, Kyle of Lochalsh IV40 8DX, this castle sits where three lochs meet – Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh – giving it a magical, floating-on-water appearance.
