How to spend a day in Plockton

Aptly named ‘the jewel of the highlands’, Plockton is the perfect place to spend a day on your trip to Scotland's stunning west coast.  A postcard perfect village about 7 miles from the Skye bridge, Plockton will leave you wanting

  • ☁️ Look at how fluffy those clouds are! What are you up to this weekend? Doing any exploring? . I know I’m a broken record on this, but if you come to Edinburgh you should take a trip out to East Lothian’s beaches because they’re some of the best I’ve ever seen. . . #BassRock #YellowcraigBeach #EastLothian #GoEastLothian #BeachVibes #Insta_SSS #PastelClouds #PinkClouds #ScotSpirit #ScottishCoast #BritishSeasides #FirthOfForth #Scotland_Lover #UnlimitedScotland #ILoveScotland #BeautifulScotland #GloriousBritain #Explore_Scotland #Yellowcraigs #YellowcraigsBeach #AdventureForever #ExploreScotland #Moody_Scotland #alwaysgo #finditliveit #folktravel #letsgosomewhere #keepexploring #visualwanderlust #visualoflife via @preview.app
  • It’s been miserable here all day (and we’re both on splits, too 😩), so here’s a throwback to when @dazlarr66 and I walked the Quiraing (just don’t ask me to pronounce it). . Film photographers, do you know what the pixelation is in the left corner of this? Is this what overexposure looks like on film? I’ve no idea 🤷‍♀️. . #Quiraing #IsleOfSkye #WalkHighlands #Ektar100 #OlympusOM10 #KodakEktar100 #BestScotlandPics #UnlimitedScotland #ScotShots #ScotlandIsNow #UKPOTD #MadeWithKodak #DiscoverScotland #SkyeIsland #HighlandsAndIslands #IGLandscape #LandscapeCapture #Splendid_Earth #CaptureLandscapes #FilmIsNotDead #35mmFilm #HazyDays #SunnyAfternoon #HillWalking #NotSoHiddenScotland #UKHikers #ipreview via @preview.app
  • It’s taking all my willpower for this caption to not just be, “Thor, he’s back, that kid on the TV just called me a dickhead again.” So, what I’ll also say is New Asgard // St Abbs is a beautiful little village and you should have a little walk around it and marvel (😉) at the stunning scenery. . Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll hear Thor and Korg playing Fortnite? . . #StAbbs #NewAsgard #Insta_SSS #UKPOTD #ScotSpirit #ScotlandIsNow #UnlimitedScotland #Endgame #Sky_Marvels #GloriousBritain #StAbbsNatureReserve #IG_Skylovers #MthrWorld #PixelAndLens #Rebel_Sky #Sky_Capture #Sky_Painters #PassionPassport #UKCoast #BritishSnaps #Explore_Britain #Europe_Greatshots #Total_Europe #ScotShots #VisualsOfScotland #Scotland_IG #UnlockScotland #HiddenScotland #AGameOfTones #ArtOfVisuals via @preview.app
  • Ever wondered if sheep are like “whoa, this is some cool landscape” or just think “sweet, more grass!” 🤔 I’d kinda love to know if the sheep munching on the Fairy Glen think it looks cool or not.

  • The colour of that water 💚💙Scotland is full of surprises. I never thought about Scotland having this kind of landscape before I moved here 😍. . . #Plockton #VisitPlockton #WesterRoss #LochCarron #MyGobe #ThisDelightfulLife #adventurevisuals #exploreeverywhere #theoutbound #welivetoexplore #passionpassport #travelstoke #ScotSpirit #OutAndAboutScotland #ExploreScotland #Scotland_Greatshots #EarthCapture #WestCoastScotland #ScottishAdventures #OceanVibes #LiveForTheStory #Forest_Captures #OceanAir #ScottishScenery #UnlimitedScotland #TheScottishCollective #SimplyScotland #TravelScotland #ipreview via @preview.app
  • I LOVE the way this waterfall is reflecting on the lake, and how there’s a magical kinda glow where the water meets the side of the mountain 🏔 I would happily go back to Germany for some more exploring right now. @dazlarr66, down tools and let’s go adventuring! . . #Konigssee #VisitBavaria #BayernVision #MeinBayern #BayenerLeben #Berchtesgarden #ExploreBavaria #MthrWorld #RoamEarth #IG_DivineShotz #AsWeDiscover #VisualsOfEarth #AGameOfTones #MoodyVibes #BlueLakes #StunningNature #MountainLover #AroundEurope #EuropeanAdventure #WaterfallsOfInstagram #WaterfallHunting #NatGeoLandscape #VisitGermany #Pocket_Germany #Germany_Greatshots #Wilderness_Culture #DisconnectedCollective #MountainStories #ipreview via @preview.app

  • 🍊 ORANGE ME UP! // Whenever I dye my hair myself, Manic Panic is my go-to. It’s non-toxic, doesn’t smell bad, is moisturising, gives amazing colour (even on unbleached hair - can’t be bothered with that), and fades evenly and nicely. I tend to use Psychedelic Sunset on it’s own but when the shop runs out I mix it with Electric Tiger Lily and it gives a more reddy-orange on my fur. . The packaging IS plastic, however the pots are a good size so I plan to sterilise them and re-use them for keeping baking powder, etc. That said, I wouldn’t be mad if they offered metal tubes of dye. . . #ManicPanic #PsychedelicSunset #ElectricTigerLily #OrangeHair #ManicPanicNYC #LowWasteHair #LowWasteLiving #GreenBeauty #GreenHairCare #NonToxicHairColor #NonToxicHairCare #OrangeHairDye #NonToxicBeauty #ToxinFreeLiving
  • 📚WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING? // After a long and busy weekend at work, it’s been nice to get some chores done and sit down and read. The Priory of the Orange Tree has been on my TBR since I heard about it earlier this year. It involves Dragons, so how could I say no?

  • ♻️ONE IN, ONE OUT // I love it when you find a company that makes it easy for you to avoid plastic. @lyonsleaf give you the option to buy their facial oils without the pump so you can stick your existing one in the new bottle. . . What companies have you found that make it easy for you to be zero or low waste? . . #LowWaste #GoingZeroWaste #Lyonsleaf #VeganSkincare #ToxinFreeLiving #LyonsleafFacialOil #MinimalLiving #Minimalism #CrueltyFreeSkincare #GreenBeauty #NaturalSkincareProducts #InstaSkincare #ReduceReuseRecycle #ConsciousConsumer #FacialOil #MarshmallowRoot #GreenBeautyProducts
  • ✅Switching from beauty & personal hygiene products in plastic bottles to solid soap/shampoo bars is such an easy way to reduce the amount of plastic you recycle or throw away. . ♻️Not only that, but you can support some fantastic, independent businesses at the same time. . ♻️And, it makes travelling easier. No worrying about a shampoo explosion, or having to decant and squeeze liquids into those teeny bags in your hand luggage 👍. . 🧼I’m trying out three soaps by @primalsuds; their Head Case fenugeek solid shampoo; Boscanova coffee scrub bar, and temper soap. They all smell delicious, and I’ll let you know how I get on with them. . . #PrimalSuds #GreenLiving #ShampooBar #SoapBar #PlasticFree #SustainableLiving #PlasticFreeBathroom #PlasticFreeHaircare #NaturalSoaps #LowImpact #ZeroWasteBathroom #ZeroWasteCollective #WasteLess #ReduceWaste #EcoLiving #ZeroWasteJourney #DitchPlastic #unumfam #GoingZeroWaste
  • 🥞 Pancakes are one of my favourite things to eat but I SUCK at making them. I know, I know, they’re supposed to be pretty easy to make but I struggle. That is, until I found this banana pancake recipe from @lovingitvegan this morning. No gummy pancakes! Woop. . . Last week, we had some banana pancakes from @foodstoryscotland - mine were covered in peanut butter, cocoa nibs, banana, maple syrup and yoghurt. I recreated it as best I could with what I’d got and they were easily the best pancakes I’ve ever made. . . #VeganPancakes #WhatVegansEat #BananaPancakes #VeganBreakfast #VeganBrunch #LetsCookVegan #VeganBananaPancakes #PlantBasedPower #PlantPowered #PancakeStack #PancakeLover #BreakfastLover #BreakfastTime #SweetBreakfast
  • Do you make your own skincare products? . . Today, I made a sugar scrub from @natashalhn (search “cinnamon latte sugar scrub The Artisan Life” And you should find it) and it’s so good. It was really easy to make and so effective - I like quite a scrubby scrub. It contains shea butter, avocado oil, sugar (of course), cinnamon, and cornflour. . This isn’t any kind of ad, but I like to get shea butter and oils (essential and carrier) from @akomaskincare because they’re an ethical company. They support a number of co-operatives (which is fantastic), and offer organic, soil association approved, vegan options. . . #DIYSkincare #CleanSkincare #GreenBeauty #SugarScrub #BodyScrub #VeganSkincare #NaturalSkincare #OrganicSkincare #CrueltyFreeSkincare #SustainableLiving #EthicalLiving #SheaButter #AkomaSkincare #AllNaturalSkincare #ThisDelightfulLife
