In God's Country

Ever since the Indy Ref, I feel I have developed a new found love for my country. Not just its culture and people, but also the simple beauty of it. As such, I've been so much more aware of my surroundings. This year, so far, has been a year full of day trips and explorations. Here is a photo post of my beauty spots around Scotland.

Turkish delight

Similar to my post earlier this year about my delightful Tunisian getaway with my mother, considering my blog is about food and fashion around Edinburgh, I was in two minds about doing a photo post about my latest holiday. This time it was my best friend, Jen, and I in Turkey. We traveled at the end of May (apologies my snaps are so late!) and we stayed in the Orka Sunlife Hotel, which is in the Oludeniz/Fethiye area.

Enjoy.

It could easily have been any Scottish loch...
