Edinburgh's Christmas

Did you know 📍Glasgow’s Mural Trail is a city-wide 🎨 art project that’s completely free? 🆓

It features the work of incredible artists, including Smug, whose hyper-realistic “St. Mungo” is a local icon. 👌🏻📸

It’s the perfect way to explore the city’s streets 🏙️ and discover hidden masterpieces around every corner. 🔍✨

🧘‍♀️Float into serenity with a *Floating Sound Bath & Reiki* session at the📍 Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood , guided by Anna from Synchronize Therapy. 🌊✨

Start with calming pranayama breathing, then drift into a 45-minute sound meditation—the perfect escape after a hectic week.

🗓️Sessions: almost every Saturday and Sunday. Check the calendar at the Synchronizetherapy.co.uk . 👌🏻

I left feeling deeply relaxed and recharged. Still can’t believe that even an anxious person like me managed to completely relax and fall asleep. 💤

Met the Monarch of the Glen 🦌

📍 Glen Etive, Highlands of Scotland

Some of my absolute favourite corners of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that also do feel extra special in Autumn 🍂

1. The Hermitage, Dunkeld 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌲
A stunning woodland walk leading to a dramatic waterfall.
2. Pine Cone Point 🍂
A short but rewarding hike up the hill from The Hermitage.
3. Buachaille Etive Mòr or Glen Etive 🏔️ 007
Just outside Glencoe, this is the iconic filming location for the James Bond Skyfall scene.
4. Plodda Falls near Loch Ness 💦
One of the most spectacular and powerful waterfalls I've ever seen!
5. Dunrobin Castle on the NC500 🏰
A magnificent, fairy-tale castle that looks like it's straight out of a storybook.
6. Golspie Falls 🧚‍♂️
Just a mile from Dunrobin Castle, this is an absolutely magical and enchanting walk.
7. The Pink House Folly on Loch Glass 🏠🌸
A beautiful pink house that was built but never lived in. Access is through a private estate and requires a 30-40 minute walk on flat terrain.
8. Castle Stalker 🏰🌊
The picture-perfect castle perched on a tidal island.
9. Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness 🏰🦕
One of the most popular and visited castles in Scotland—and arguably the best Nessie-spotting location! 😉
10. Loch Vaa in Aviemore 💙
I just love this little hidden gem. You can also visit Loch Morlich and the Green Loch nearby.
11. Gosford Estate 🚶‍♀️🌳
A beautiful estate with lovely walks and a stately home, just 30 minutes from Edinburgh.
12. Loch Eck 🏞️
Offers stunning views, especially from the picturesque Jubilee Point.
13. Puck’s Glen 🧚‍♂️🍃
Just a couple of miles from Loch Eck, this is, without a doubt, the most beautiful and enchanting walk I have ever seen in Scotland.

📍Discover my favourite Cozy & Pinterest-worthy coffee spots in Edinburgh! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ In no particular order:

1. .uk on Elm Row 🦌☕️ - one of the best coffees in the city. They have a beautiful selection of sweet and savoury pastries, plus a dreamy storefront that’s perfect for that cute coffee mug shot. ☕️ 📸

2. 🇧🇷 🤎 - this is actually their second location as they also have a cute little shop in Canongate. A truly unique setting! The building was formerly the Edinburgh Printmakers and, before that, a historic public washhouse. The serve delicious brew of their direct-trade Brazilian coffee (the owners know all the farmers by name!).

3. .co 🌿💐 - Honestly the cutest coffee shop in town. Great coffee and pastries (vegan 🌱options included!). It shares a space with a flower and gift shop, so there’s plenty to browse while you sip.

4. 🏠🪟 - This place has such a quirky, homely vibe. It’s the perfect spot to get some work done while sitting in their dreamy bay window. ☕️💻

5. & 6. - With 2 locations on 📍Cockburn Street, both are absolutely perfect for romanticising your mornings with a fantastic brew.📸

7. Kitchen Table by on 📍Easter Rd 🥐🍳 - This is my local and I absolutely love it. While coffee isn’t their sole specialty (though it’s great!), their breakfast and lunch menus featuring fresh, local, and seasonal produce are an absolute must-do in Edinburgh.👌🏻

8. 🚚☕️ - I’ve mentioned this one before! Technically not a coffee shop, but don’t miss their amazing hot chocolate ☕️ served from a charming truck.
