In 2022, she was voted in the top five Scottish Family Influencers for her Instagram page @winging_mamahood, which focuses on family adventures around her cherished home country.

With over 1,000 years of rich Scottish history, this dramatic castle is one of our favourite spots in the Highlands. On the banks of Loch Ness, it offers stunning views vast in stories and heritage.

Being Historic Scotland members is a great way to explore this site and so many across the country.

Eagle Brae Log Cabins

The most unique and magnificent place we have ever stayed, Eagle Brae offers luxury log cabins on a remote Highland hillside.

With wildlife roaming on your doorstep and the most breathtaking views, it promised an experience like no other.

Balbirnie House Hotel

Whenever we have a special occasion or fancy a meal out, Balbirnie in the heart of Fife is always our go to.

A category A listed Georgian mansion, it offers exquisite dishes in the beautiful setting. Voted as my favourite spot for afternoon tea, it’s the perfect spot to dine all year round.
