Hello, I’m Laura! Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share moments from my adventures slowly exploring Scotland with a book, camera or coffee in hand. On weekdays you’ll find me in an Edinburgh office doing digital marketing, but I’m happiest at weekends when I’m in my walking boots.

Read more about me.

Is home where you thought it would be? I grew up in a village on Scotland’s west coast and always saw my twenty-something self living in Glasgow 🎓 But when my first job offer after graduating was in Edinburgh, I had no choice but to jump (cue trying to find a flat in two weeks!) With my other half starting work in Dundee a year later, it made sense for us to find somewhere new in between these Scottish cities. That’s how, decades after my grandfather asked my grandma out on a date in their home county of Fife, we found ourselves there too. And when weekends look like this — a wintry wander by the harbour, looking back at where we started our post-uni lives together — it all feels totally unexpected but, at the same time, just like home ✨ #storiesfromscotland

It’s been one of those weeks where no matter how fast you work, the to-do list doesn’t seem to shrink 🙈 How’s everyone else’s been? Safe to say I’ll be spending most of this weekend recharging on the sofa, planning some walks like this for our little trip up north later this month 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #storiesfromscotland

Sunset on our local beach yesterday, looking back on what my partner calls ‘our former life’ in Edinburgh 😂 In a way it does feel like that, swapping the city for the countryside... I don’t know about you, but I’d take trees and beach walks over traffic and buses any day 🌿 #storiesfromscotland #welcometofife

Do you take your camera everywhere? Earlier, I realised that the photos from this day (a wander around lochside footpaths & beneath squirrel-tapped trees) are the *only* camera shots I’ve got from this October 🙈 Is that a good thing? On one hand, it’s one less device to curtain my IRL experiences. But then again as I get older memories merge into another, so it becomes more important to have tokens of nostalgia, even if they’re digital... What do you think? 🍂 ( this reminds me of a DM chat I had earlier this year with @coppernotes!) #storiesfromscotland #hashtagscotland

AD | When it's a dreich weekend, you'll find me reminiscing about autumn on the Isle of Bute — so Bute-iful (so sorry, I couldn't resist) that we're going back for the Christmas market 🍂 PS I've got a few more photos to share from my #westcoastwaters trip, and they'll be marked as ad because them's the rules 😉 ⠀ ⠀ #storiesfromscotland #YCW2020 #onlyinscotland #hashtagscotland #hiddenscotland #framedbynature #upandautumn #aseasonalshift #bitsofbuildings #kings_villages #cntraveler #architexture #scotlandisnow @visit_bute @westcoastwaters #capturequiet #myeverydaymagic @mount_stuart

‘October’s a blink of the eye… Red orange gold the leaves, then brown, and down' — Ali Smith 🍂 Thinking of all the books I love to read at this time of year, from Smith to Hemingway, and ordering some more favourites from my past life as a literature student (Edith Wharton's Ghost Stories, anyone?) 📖 #storiesfromscotland⠀ ⠀ #upandautumn #framedbynature #botanicalpickmeup #whimsicalwonderfulwild #savourtheseasonalshift #seasoninasquare #myeverydaymagic #distractionsandinspirations #daysofsmallthings #openuptoautumn #natureandnourish #tinytinymoments #forestdweller #faeriefolk #wearewoodlandfolk

When you're wandering off the path with no aim at all, lovely little moments creep up on you. This is from a few weekends ago, a rare time when I took my camera, and this moment of magic — as if an artist had set up some autumnal dream scene of falling leaves, raindrops and rainbows — appeared in front of us 🍂 #storiesfromscotland⠀ ⠀ #whimsicalwonderfulwild #upandautumn #thatautumnmagic #aseasonalyear #gloomandglow #perthshire #hiddenscotland #omgb #itsprimupnorth #thisisscotland #onlyinscotland #scotlandisnow #guardiantravelsnaps #gowildlyandslow #visualsofearth #stayandwander #beautifuldestinations #scotland

Memories from an autumn weekend, a list 🍂 A tiny team of red squirrels in these trees, more than I've ever seen in Scotland (previous sum total: one), dancing from branch to branch in a rush to stock up seed supplies. The soil-scented autumnal air. Golden beech leaves, like coins. Holding hands and wearing hats. The hurry of wildlife before hibernation. My own post-walk hibernation on the sofa with a blanket, book and tea. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Best. Time. Of. Year ✨ #storiesfromscotland

AD | A library with a ladder is now my life's goal 😉 This was taken on a tour of the breathtakingly beautiful Mount Stuart, built by one of Britain's richest men in the late 1800s, a house full of magic and marble 📖✨ Have you taken the ferry over to the Isle of Bute? If not, do it! #westcoastwaters #storiesfromscotland⠀ ⠀ @mount_stuart #westcoastwaters #beautyyouseek #capturequiet #thisjaneaustenlife #myeverydaymagic #mystoryoflight #littlestoriesofmylife #thesincerestoryteller #visitbute #simpleandstill #booksbooksbooks #fortheloveofreading #culturetripbooks #becauseofreading #YCW2020 #visitscotland #scotlandisnow #hiddenscotland
