Avoiding Crowds on Skye - Over the 15+ years that we have been doing Secret Scotland, we've witnessed a big change in the number of people visiting Skye. Places that were quiet 15 years ago are now crawling with tourists, and car parks are spreading to cope with the traffic. In this blog, we visit some places on Skye that are still relatively unspoiled by overcrowding.
Exploring the Moray Coast: Pennan to Banff - Last June, we blogged about our trip along the Moray Coast from Buckie to Portsoy. In this blog, we return to the Moray coast, but we pick up the trail a few miles further east so that we can show you the attractive old fishing villages that cling precariously to the shoreline in little coves surrounded by cliffs. Fans of the cult Scottish movie "Local Hero" will recognise some of the places we visited.
Highlights of 2022 - Last year was a year that we won't forget for many reasons. Some sad and some happy. As we move into 2023, we take a few moments to look back on the places we visited over the last 12 months and pick out a few examples of some of our best experiences.
