Is anyone else feeling more like exploring the UK at the minute? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good trip abroad but with so many beautiful places on my own doorstep, I can’t fight the growing feeling that I want to explore my own backyard a bit more.

One of those places I want to visit is Scotland – we actually booked our trip recently and I’ll be visiting Edinburgh for the first time and heading to the Isle Of Skye too. Now, I went on holiday to Scotland quite a lot as a kid and I’ve got so many happy memories of biking through woodland, playing badminton at 10.30pm and it still being light outside, walking down by the river surrounded by stunning hills and mountains…

But, it’s one place I haven’t explored as an adult and I can’t wait to do that on my trip to Scotland. With that in mind, any photos of Scotland that have been popping up on my Instagram, I’ve been stalking like crazy and gaping and the ruthless beauty of the countryside and imagining myself walking down the cobbled streets of the capital.

Instagrammers That Will Inspire Your Holiday To Scotland

If you’re also planning to spend some time in this magical country, here are some Instagrammers that will inspire your trip to Scotland…

What If We Walked

I actually came across Luke and Nell’s account at work – swear I wasn’t skiving, it’s actually part of my job! – and couldn’t get over their beautiful photos. Based on the Isle of Skye, What If We Walked is the perfect account to get your juices going for slow travel, hiking, and the great outdoors of Scotland. I mean have you SEEN those mountains?

Oliver G M Lewis

Gorgeous landscapes, gorgeous colours, gorgeous Scotland. My attention was instantly captured when I saw Oliver’s account. If you’re into the same thing, his photos will immediately make you want to head up north to this gorgeous country.

Jennifer Follis

Scotland isn’t all magnificent mountains, sometimes it’s barren landscapes, desolate barns, pretty beaches and cute cottages. Jennifer shows this off perfectly with her photos she takes on her dog walks with her pooch, Molly.

View Of Edinburgh

This account is gorgeous. I’m sure Edinburgh is pretty but I hope it’s half as good as what Andy makes it out to be. Those cobbled streets. Those narrow alleyways. Those gorgeous buildings and cosy bookshops… Edinburgh looks like one stunner of a capital city!
