On our recent trip to Islay we had already walked Laggan Point on the previous day, so we decided to explore Bridgend Woods, Islay too. Myself and my dad had already walked the Standing Stones loop in the morning which only took us an hour. So after we had lunch at the Ardbeg Distillery we …
Walking Laggan Point from Bowmore, Islay With Kids
We recently went to the stunning Isle of Islay, in Scotland for a long weekend break. The trip was for business purposes, but as I am in a family business it meant my parents, and my two boys could come along too. Laggan Point from Bowmore is roughly 14km walk and is pretty flat, so …
Little Drum Wood – An Outdoor Adventure With Kids
Last week we headed to Callander and decided to go and see Bracklinn Falls, so we wanted to try Little Drum Wood too. We have lived in Scotland for over 20 years now and we have never visited! The lovely Jenny from Monkey and Mouse suggested we visited Little Drum Wood, so we thought we would check …
Bracklinn Falls in Callander With Kids

Outdoor Adventures at Beecraigs Country Park
As a family, I love getting out and about and we often head to Beecraigs Country Park. While there I often have a walk and let the kids play in the play area for a bit. When I was younger we use to come here all the time, so it just shows how great this …
Scottish Owl Centre in West Lothian
I have known about the Scottish Owl Centre for a long time, but we just never got around to going. It’s not too far from our house so you would think we would go more often. However, I decided one day to check it out and we are glad we did. Okay, you probably can’t …
Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre
Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre is one of my favourite places to visit, although I don’t go often as it is about 1.5hrs away from where we live. My parents took us to Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre many times when I was little and we have been a couple of times with my eldest son. It is about …
