Really enjoyed my recent Q&A with Ericotrips! Ah! Allow me catch my breath for a couple seconds because today’s guest is absolutely unbelievable! He’s Leighton Thomas, an English Travel Blogger born in Hammersmith, London and he is currently based in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Leighton plans to spend the rest of 2020 travelling around Asia, focusing […]
Read MoreOld Invermoriston Bridge, Scotland. July 2019. The more I see of Scotland, the more I realise what an incredible man Thomas Telford was. Not content with creating one of the world’s most impressive waterways, The Caledonian Canal, Telford also designed over 1000 bridges all across Britain. Happily, Spackles and I managed to tick one of […]
Read MoreFort Augustus, Loch Ness. July 2019. Spackles and I had been looking forward to an hour’s stroll around picturesque Fort Augustus. We were on our way to the nearby village of Drumnadrochit and figured this would be a great place for some breakfast and a nosey. Bisected by a charming section of the Caledonian Canal and […]
Read MoreHey, ho! Well, I’ve finally gone and done it. The thing that people never thought I’d ever do. The very action I have never really wanted to do. The all-encompassing juggernaut that I fear will eat up way too much of my time. Yes, that’s right, I have at long last launched Leighton Travels on […]
Read MoreBeoraid Cemetery, Morar. June 2019. Beoraid Cemetery is just a few minutes drive from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour & St Cumin’s Church near the Scottish town of Morar.

Read MoreOur Lady of Perpetual Succour & St Cumin’s Church, Scotland. June 2019. There are some truly lovely spots in and around The Silver Sands near the Scottish village of Morar. After an hour wandering along the beach, we jumped back into the car and made the twelve minute drive to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour […]
Read MoreThe Silver Sands of Morar. June 2019. When the sun is shining and the sky is blue, I swear Scotland might just be the most beautiful country on Planet Earth. Think of the world’s most stunning beaches and I’m guessing most people wouldn’t find a place for Scotland. When I think about my own most […]
Read MoreThe Commando Memorial, Scotland July 2019. It was a summer’s afternoon in Scotland, but hell you wouldn’t have known it. Spackles and I were driving down the A82 on the way to Loch Ness when, suddenly, he announced an unplanned pitstop. “The Commando Memorial is just over there!” he said, straining his eyes at the […]
Read MoreIf you’re coming to Banavie and looking for a roof over your head, the swankiest place in the village is The Moorings Hotel. You can find it located right on the banks of The Caledonian Canal at the beginning of the The Great Glen Way hike from Banavie to Gairlochy. The Moorings is just a […]
Read MoreThey say that The Great Glen Way in Scotland is one of the world’s most spectacular hiking routes. Stretching over 118 kilometres, this long distance path connects the southwest town of Fort William and the northeast cathedral city of Inverness. To conquer it in full there are nine stages to tackle. Furthermore, each leg offers up […]
