Following on from last week’s post and my stay in Dundee at Hotel Indigo, I thought I’d give AHB readers a bit of a low down on what you can do in Dundee, known as the city of discovery!

Discovering Dundee with Hotel Indigo (review)
Dundee has had quite a year. Named in the ‘Top 5 Worldwide Hot Destinations’ by the Wall Street Journal, and the ‘Coolest Little City in Britain’ by GQ Magazine, Dundee has seen the V&A Dundee open after many years of construction and anticipation building. Not only that, the city has seen a resurgence in restaurant,…
Bowhouse Food Weekend – A taste of Fife!
Last month I attended Bowhouse Food Weekend (which I had first heard of through Sarah’s blog). The previous day I had distilled my own gin at Darnley’s Distillery and staff there had also recommended popping along there. So before we headed out to a wedding at the beautiful Cambo estate, we made tracks over to…
Darnley’s Gin School – #Distilyourown experience
A couple of weekends ago I was down in Fife for a wedding, but also managed to time my visit to the Kingdom with a visit to gin school – over at the beautiful Darnley’s cottage, situated right next to the picturesque Kingsbarns Distillery and Visitor Centre!
The return of Bon Accord Soft Drinks
When I’m out and about for meals/drinks, I often like to alternate my tipple of choice (if you didn’t know it was gin) with soft drinks (hello responsible drinker over here!) or to find something other than the usual tonic water or soda mixer. However standard pub offerings are fairly disappointing with the usual Coke or…
What can you expect at a Scottish Highland Games?
Highland Games are a huge part of national culture all over Scotland, and while centuries ago these events would have been a display of clan rivalry for the biggest and bravest soldiers to compete, these are a much more friendly affair nowadays!
Never.25 – A taste of the first Scottish eau de vie
Today I’m excited to share with you a new Scottish-made spirit, from Tayport Distillery – Never.25 eau de vie which uses the best of Scottish produce to create a delicious fruit-infused spirit.
North Coast Exploration: from Caithness to Durness
When we moved from Inverness to Caithness, my heart sunk just a little at the prospect that the drive to Achmelvich Bay (my favourite place in Scotland) in the heart of the NC500, would not be in such easy reach on our days off – would we find such staggering natural beauty on the North…
Caithness coast – my maiden voyage: Caithness Seacoast RIB trip
It was a fine weekend morning last Saturday, a perfect day for hopping on a speedboat along the Caithness coast! When we lived in Inverness I had been on the Dolphin Spirit boat trips in the Moray Firth, but never got round to booking a place on their RIB trip. However, Wick has Caithness Seacoast…
NC500 East Coast: Big Burn Walk, Golspie
Tucked away at the north end of Goslpie, quite literally a stones throw from the A9, is a fab short woodland walk that leads to a stunning waterfall. This, is the big burn walk.
