Are you more of a gin or wh**ky person? 🥃

Scotland may be famous for its wh**ky, but did you know 70% of the UK's gin is produced in Scotland?

We love exploring experiences first-hand so we can share our own recommendations for your next Scottish holiday. With Edinburgh Gin’s distillery just a stone’s throw from our Edinburgh office, we took the opportunity to visit for a tour and tasting.

It was brilliant to learn more about how gin is made and discover another side of Scotland’s distilling heritage. A big thank you to our guide, Davide, for showing us around!

Did you know your business could help protect nature on Nevis – simply by getting your steps in?

Through our Autumn Appeal, we’re raising funds for essential pathway and access work on Nevis, helping to protect this incredible wild place and keep it accessible.

Your team can make a difference through our workplace fundraising challenge, Step Up for Wild Places.

Step Up turns everyday steps into a team challenge, with colleagues working together to reach the number of steps it takes to climb and descend Ben Nevis, while raising funds for this uniquely wild place.

Our longstanding corporate partners, Absolute Escapes, took on the challenge for the second year running!

21 members of the Absolute Escapes team took part, taking an incredible 1,391,372 steps and raising £100 for Nevis.

It’s a brilliant example of how a team can come together, have fun, and make a tangible and lasting contribution to wild places.

We love seeing James with his trusty Cicerone Press guidebook in hand in every shot! 📚 It’s always a pleasure to see our clients making unforgettable memories on their Absolute Escapes holidays. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, Joan and James!

A look back at September. 📸

Our clients have been exploring some wonderful corners of Scotland, England, Wales & Ireland, from the idyllic Outer Hebrides to the rugged Causeway Coast.

There were rainbows spotted, matching hoodies worn, fascinating geological discoveries, wildlife encounters, beautiful sunsets admired, and lots of happy selfies snapped along the way. 🌈
