The Highland Sighthound

Big old landscapes and great wee spots,

all with a four-legged seal of approval!

Scotland through the eyes of one girl and her dog

There are very few things I love more than jumping in the car with my dog and a camera and heading out for the day. Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going; sometimes there’s a vague plan; sometimes I just follow the weather or my nose…and we've discovered some of our favourite spots by doing that last one!

I had to say goodbye to the original sighthound, Ledi, in May 2024, but I adopted little Luca in March 2025 and we are starting a whole new round of adventures. Meanwhile, there's already a lot here to browse through...

Over the 9 years we were together, Ledi and I climbed mountains, ran along deserted beaches, took boat trips across well-known lochs and sailed over the sea to visit beautiful islands. We clambered across waterfalls, stared wild stag in the face, raced through woodland, frolicked in the snow and snoozed in sunny spots. And I shall be doing all those lovely things again in old and new spots with Luca.

Scotland is both our home and our destination.

So, here we go. From big old landscapes to great wee spots, here are the notes* from some of our travels through the glorious Highlands. Enjoy!
