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

  • On a day as hot, sticky, and gross as today, I would much rather be at the beach with @dazlarr66 , munching snacks, dipping my feet in the sea, and applying Factor Vampire all day long. . . #Elgol #IslesOfSkye #ScotSpirit #ScottishNature #ScottishBeaches #VisitSkye #ScotlandIsBeautiful #OceanVibes #BeachDay #UK_Greatshots #ScotlandShots #Scotland_Insta #DiscoverScotland #ScotShots #Europe_Greatshots #Map_Of_Europe #TheDelightfulLife #Europe_Moments #BestPlacesToGo #UKBeaches #ScottishIslands #BritishCoast #ILoveScotland #ipreview via @preview.app
  • When we first came up to Edinburgh, a couple of years ago, @dazlarr66 and I found ourself in Deacon Brodie’s wondering if we should put an offer in on the only place we’d been able to view. We did, and we’ve loved living here. Every time I go past Deacon Brodie’s, I think about that day. . . #DeaconBrodies #DeaconBrodiesTavern #RoyalMile #EdinburghRoyalMile #VisitEdinburgh #Edinburgh_Snapshots #IG_Edinburgh #OlympusOM10 #KodakColorPlus200 #MadeWithKodak #FilmIsNotDead #Loves_Edinburgh #ScotlandMagazine #EdinburghStory #DiscoverEdinburgh #ScotSpirit #ScottishPubs #ShootFilm #AnaloguePhotography #35mmFilm #OlympusUK #TravelTheWorld #ExploreMore #ThisDelightfulLife #ICU_Scotland #ipreview via @preview.app

  • There’s a good reason Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls is one of the most photographed places on the Isle Of Skye; it’s beautiful. Sure, this isn’t the best photo of the falls and it didn’t involve a drone but eh 🤷‍♀️I like it. It was one of the first photos I shot on Etkar 100, and I love the moody feel it gave this photo. . I was worried film would struggle to deal with those bright white cloudy Scottish skies, but it handled them way better than my DSLR. . . #IsleOfSkye #KiltRock #MealtFalls #ScotSpirit #OlympusOM10 #Ektar100 #KodakEtkar100 #AmazingViews #ScotlandGreatshots #MadeWithKodak #ShootFilm #FilmShootersCollective #BelieveInFilm #ScotlandsBeauty #VisitScotland #LoveScotland #ScottishHighlands #ExploreScotland #BritainsBeauty #GloriousBritain #Scotland_Insta #DiscoverUnder5K #ThisIsScotland #ShootFilmUnder1000 #UpgradeToFilm #ShootFilmMag #The35MMDiary #BoxSpeedFeature #EverybodyFilm #AnaloguePhotography 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
