"In Scotland, no two days are the same and the landscapes I see every day always amaze me and keep me wanting to come back for more. The depth of history in this beautiful wee country blows my mind and I look forward to sharing the history, culture, landscapes and adventures with as many of you as possible. I really do have the best job in the world and Scotland makes it all so easy!"
