Last year I spent a lot of time updating @frommers.com guidebook to #Iceland, which has just come out. Many, many thanks to my Icelandic friends who answered my random questions as they arose - I could not have done it without you.

A few days along the coast of Wester Ross this week.

(have a look at @emmgibbs.bsky.social North Highlands guidebook if you are heading that way this summer)

Hello, It's got to a point where I can't appear in photos without it being obvious that I'm already quite pregnant, so, now you know.

Of all Scotland's fresh water lochs, Loch Lomond has the largest surface area, but for me it's all about the trees.

Are you visiting #Skye this year? My new Skye and the #InnerHebrides guidebook recommends the island's most interesting nooks and crannies, with lots of good reasons to take your time exploring.

(self-promotion is difficult, but I do believe in this book 📚 link on my profile)
