Welcome to the wonderful world of East Lothian

(& Beyond!)

Hi I am Katy, and for the last 6 years I have been on a bit of a personal mission to explore all of the wonders of my stunning home county, East Lothian, in Scotland, UK.

On my travels I have discovered so many amazing places to walk and some truly incredible hidden gems! I am absolutely passionate about taking photographs on my phone, always documenting my adventures in bright, beautiful detail. I have been posting these images on my personal Instagram for a while now and I always get a lot of requests to share where I have been and how to get there… So with photos I have already collected, and magical memories from everywhere I visit, I have created this website as a free resource, for people like me, who want to spend time in nature but don’t necessarily know where to go or how to start…

Most of the walks I will post on here are both dog and kid friendly but I would recommend that you read them right through before you head off on your own adventure, so you know exactly what to expect. I have tried to write each walk up in a way that provides a comprehensive guide to the route, but I have also added descriptions ands stories of my own personal experiences at each location too.

I intend to keep adding new walks on a regular basis so do make sure you pop back for more adventures! I really hope you find it an useful resource and an enjoyable (not too waffly!) read. Please do feel free to get in touch, I would absolutely love to know how you get on!

Happy Adventuring! :)
