An Edinburgh boy - been around the world and now settling back in Scotland. Living up on the Isle of Lewis at the moment - paradise!

Live slow, die old. I move at a very sedate pace - why rush? Take it all in! That said, I'm not averse to a bit of adventure. Skiing, rafting, surfing, fishing - it's all good! My perfect evening? Sitting with a couple of good friends in front of the fire, swapping stories. Beer, whiskey, and it's raining outside.

Come explore the Western Isles! We've got world class beaches, a nice way of life and very friendly locals :)

Teach, Learn, Share

You will learn a lot more from others, and from yourself, if you take things at a slower pace and listen to other people.

Challenge your convictions, so that you know what you believe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good cook, I'll teach you first aid (and a bit more if you're interested), I'll make you laugh and buy you a dram of a decent single malt.
