    Lillias Adie: How to find the witch grave in Torryburn, Scotland

    04/08/2023

    As a Scot, I’m more than familiar with the harrowing tales of Scotland’s persecution of ‘witches’ (mostly women), which hit its peak between the late 16th to the early 18th century. However, it was only recently that I learned of Lillias Aidie’s grave; the ‘only known named witch’s grave in all of Scotland’. To keep the trolls at bay, I might add that this was heavily disputed in my TikTok video comments. However (I am told), the explanation for this claim was that it is the only one that a) had a body b) was confirmed to have a body in it c) had a name attached to it. In this…

    Smailholm Peel Tower: A Scottish Borders Hidden Gem

    22/07/2023

    Smailholm Tower is a peel tower located near Kelso in the Scottish Borders. It sits on a little crag called Lady Hill, keeping watch across the Scottish countryside. Built in the 15th century, like all Scottish peel towers, it was designed to protect occupants from English raids. Despite its violent past, it is now one of the best-preserved peel towers in Scotland. Here’s everything you need to know about Smailholm Tower: Smailholm Tower History Dating back to the 15th century, Smailholm Tower was originally constructed as a defensive stronghold during a turbulent era of border conflicts by the Pringles of Smailholm. The Pringles were a powerful local family who hold…

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is a world-renowned arts festival that takes place annually in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the largest open-access arts festival in the world, featuring an (often overwhelming) variety of performances including theatre, comedy, music, and dance.

    The North Coast 500 in Scotland is a 500-mile route that loops road-trippers around the very top of the Highland coastline. It is celebrated for its diverse scenery and sense of remoteness; while the east part of the journey takes on a flat ‘English countryside’ feel, the rugged west coast winds through steep mountains and paradise beaches. Read my full NC500 Scotland 4-Day Itinerary, which includes my favourite things to see on the route.

    Aonang, Krabi Travel Guide: Travel tips and FAQs Answered

    I’ve been coming back and forth to Aonang, Krabi since I was 28 (I’d tell you how many years that’s been, but I’m not quite ready to accept how old I am now!). Whilst a lot of the places I visited during my first trip to Thailand have drastically changed, Aonang has someone managed to maintain a lot of its ‘authentic’ Thai feeling, albeit, with a lot more walking streets and overpriced air-con coffee shops. Outside of the busy, farang-filled main street, you’ll find soi (street) after soi of green jungle roads, dotted with the small concrete homes of locals, roosters freely kicking up the dust in the yards and…

    Krabi, Thailand is a tropical paradise that is often overlooked by tourists in favour of more popular destinations like Phuket and Bangkok. But this particular province holds a special place in my heart – so much so that I chose to make it my home for over 2 years. Krabi is not somewhere you fall in love with immediately. At first glance, it looks like your standard gateway stop point – offering connections to a lot of the paradise islands seen across movies and social media accounts (are we too far along to be referencing ‘The Beach’ nowadays?) However, scratch the surface and you’ll find some of the most exciting…

Once you step foot into Little Kook, you’ll understand why it has gained such a dedicated following of locals and tourists alike. It’s not just a café; it’s an experience.

    Plant-Based Travel: A Guide to EasyJet’s Vegan Food Offerings

    17/06/2023

    It’s been a while since I’ve flown with EasyJet but, much like the larger airlines, the last time I took a trip with them, vegan food options on the flight were frustratingly limited. My biggest plant-based in-flight bugbear? We’re way past 2020, but vegan milk alternatives still appear to bamboozle airline menu teams. HOWEVER, on my recent flight between Edinburgh and Athens, I was pleasantly surprised by the non-dairy glow-up that the EasyJet offering has been through. Here’s a detailed list of all the vegan food options on EasyJet flights (as of June 2023). Easyjet Vegan Hot Food And Mains I’m going to dive right into the most important part,…

    I LOVE seeking out a city’s lesser-known hidden gems, and so I am thrilled to share one that has recently emerged in the heart of Edinburgh. Prepare to be delighted as we step into the enchanting world of the BirdsNest Gallery Meadows, a miniature art haven nestled along the edges of the beautiful Meadows Park. Picture this: a petite 1930s police box transformed into a captivating art gallery, exuding charm and creativity in every inch. The BirdsNest Meadows is a project born from the vision of its larger (private) sister gallery on Edinburgh St Clerk St. But what makes this gallery truly remarkable? Well, it proudly holds the official title…

    The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Aonang, Krabi, Thailand

    08/05/2023

    Planning a trip to Thailand and looking for a beach destination that caters to vegan and vegetarian diets? Aonang in Krabi has your back! Located on the southern coast of Thailand, Aonang attracts a mixed crowd of backpackers, solo travellers, families, and couples, with the promise of firey red and pink sunsets, limestone cliffs, relaxed evenings and island adventures. It’s also home to a plethora of vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants, making it a comfortable destination for plant-based foodies. Why Aonang is a haven for plant-based eaters? Thailand is known for its flavourful cuisine, but it can be challenging to find vegan and vegetarian options in some areas. Unless you’re comfortable…

The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shorel
The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shoreline of Torryburn. Accused of witchcraft, people were tied out here to be judged & sentenced by the waters. There was no escape, a sentence was inevitable - you drown, you are found innocent, you survive, you are a witch and sentenced to punishment.

Their pastries are plant based and vegan friendly, but you'd never tell the difference between them and their dairy-filled alternatives.

Finally made it down to Edinburgh Street Food at the Omni Centre to try out their vegan options.
The two key vegan offerings are Antojitos (all vegan) and Homies pizza (3 vegan pizza choices). 
It's been noted by many others before me that prices at ESF are astronomical - I agree - and while I appreciate it's a central location with high running costs, the prices (from what we saw) are not reflective of portion sizes.

The only named witch's grave in Scotland – Lillias
The only named witch's grave in Scotland - Lillias Aidie's story deserves more recognition than it receives. 
Scotland's persecution of 'witches' hit its peaks between the late 16th to the early 18th century. It is estimated that between 3 and 4 thousand people were tortured and executed as 'witches'.
At the age of 64, Lillias Aidie was added to the list of suspects after a woman felt delirious after an evening of drinking one night in 1704 — and so she concluded that her neighbor, Lilias, must have summoned Satan to cast a spell on her.

The Bourse de Commerce in Paris, France, was originally built to store and sell wheat.
Initially, it was an open-air interior court, later topped by a wooden dome that was replaced with copper in 1811.
The mural inside was painted in 1889. In 2021 it re-opened to the public following extensive renovations as an exhibition gallery that fuses contemporary art with Parisian heritage.
