A guide to Scotland’s hidden spots, this is a bi-annual magazine. A coffee table stable that will provide inspiration and information for travels around the country. The photos alone are enough to make you want to pack your bag. Founded by Jack Cairney in 2016, looking to inspire others to travel to and around Scotland but always sharing the message to roam responsibly “Take only photographs and leave only footprints”
Issue 9 was published Autumn/Winter 2024-25.
This is the ninth edition of Hidden Scotland Magazine, and the articles dive into some of the country’s most spectacular corners. We head, for example, to the often overlooked Small Isles with photographer Simon Hird and give an overview of ten of Scotland’s most historical fishing towns and villages – from picture-perfect Plockton to far-flung Portmahomack.
Scotland is nothing, of course, without the people who call it home. In this issue, we talk to illustrator and shop-owner Tori Gray, who shares her love of homeware, the Highlands and life in the Black Isle; meet writer and researcher Kat Hill, whose book ‘Bothy’ is a fascinating celebration of the history and culture of the country’s bothies; and hear from iconic designers Paul Simmons and Alastair McAuley, the men behind Glasgow studio Timorous Beasties.
Elsewhere, we rejoice in the nocturnal awe of Scotland’s best stargazing sites, delve into the joys of after-dark wildlife-spotting, profile award-winning landscape artist Ellis O’Connor, spotlight some of Scotland’s most impressive interiors, and follow writer Lucy Gillmore as she joins a ‘wild wellness’ retreat.
The magazine is beautifully printed and of high quality but the intention is for it to be well used and to become a point of reference, they encourage this with dedicated note pages at different stages of the magazine. 20 x 25.5 cm.
