Hullo there! (Scottish accent) So after heading to bed at 9.30pm and falling asleep immediately last night, I have now recovered enough to tell you about my weekend! I am splitting it into each day otherwise it would be a long post. And you would probably be falling asleep. If you didn’t know, last weekend [...]

Yes I’m off tomorrow for a solid weekend of drinking with my Scottish mates who I haven’t seen in ages! We are going to a tiny island off the West coast of Scotland called Islay. It’s small, and weirdly I have to take two flights to get there. I’m really looking forward to it though, [...]

Scotland! Home of the haggis. All year round – Burns night or not! I had my first trip to Scotland this year two weekends ago. I agreed to go and help the family move my sister Ailse out of her student flat in St. Andrews, as she’s moving to new accomodation at the start of [...]

Scotland! I love it, but I guess that’s because I’m from there. Anyway, later this year, I’ll get to visit a part of Scotland I’ve never been to before – the Western Isles – when I head off to Islay, pictured above.
My mate Nick’s soon-to-be-wife is from there, and we’re heading [...]

After Dublin and Belfast, it was back to my home town of Dundee for two days leading up to New Year. The weather was totally weird as you can see from the picture above, and as always, it was absolutely freezing.
Highlight of my trip has to be heading to Glasgow to see my friends Nick [...]

After dragging myself out of bed feeling like I was going to vomit everywhere after a night out on the town, the day of my mate John’s wedding had finally arrived! That’s him with his attractive and lovely new wife Susan in the picture above.
The wedding itself was held at Urquhart Castle (above) which is [...]

Well I was in Scotland at the weekend for my mate’s wedding – Inverness to be precise! The wedding was on Saturday, so on Friday the lads headed out for a night of drinking to celebrate John’s last night of freedom.
I’d not been to Inverness since I was really tiny, so I couldn’t remember much [...]

The photographer that my sister, Jill, and Tobey hired for their wedding has put some photographs from the wedding up on his blog. They are a lot better than the ones I took (obviously) so check them out!
And if you are getting married or need a photographer, I can highly recommend Team Thomson – they [...]

Well on Tuesday this week, the local ITV station I grew up watching disappeared. Grampian TV was taken over by Scottish Television a good couple of years ago, but yesterday saw the launch of a new combined STV covering the whole of Scotland which means Grampian has gone for good.
Grampian always had a bit of [...]
