Highland Wonders: Inspiration from Scotland’s Natural Beauty
In Scotland, we're blessed with nature’s finest—it's practically in our DNA. The north, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. I've spent countless happy days meandering through woodland walks, soaking in the tranquility of lochs, and watching little birds swoop and dive across rivers like they’re auditioning for their next nature documentary.
During one adventure to Loch Ness, we stumbled upon the stunning Falls of Foyers. This waterfall doesn’t just trickle—it plunges a dramatic 140 feet into a gorge, which then weaves its way down through the forest, eventually meeting the mystical waters of Loch Ness. We took a peaceful stroll to the loch’s shore, where the gentle lapping of water against the banks made time feel as if it had stopped—no sign of Nessie that day, but you never know!

Another highlight of the trip? Highland cows. There they were, lounging by the ruins of an old castle like they owned the place (and honestly, who’s going to tell them otherwise?). Their bright orange coats and that iconic hairdo make them the supermodels of the bovine world. And let’s not forget the soundtrack to summer: the hum of bumblebees darting around thistles, as if in search of the perfect nectar.

Feeling inspired by these sights and memories, I couldn’t resist creating a collection that celebrates the beauty of my homeland, Scotland. After all, how could I not pay tribute to a place this magical?
I hope you've enjoyed reading about my Trip to the Highlands collection and the inspiration behind each piece. I'd love to hear your own stories of Scottish adventures—whether it's a favourite place, a memory, or a hidden gem. Please feel free to share in the comments! And keep an eye out, as a beautiful recolouring of the Trip to the Highlands collection will be launching at 8pm on Tuesday 15th October!
