Whenever I can, I love creating videos. Over the years I’ve been teaching myself how to edit, and I can now pull together clips to create a visual story, complimented with music that I personally feel fits the footage and stirs emotions inside me.
I create for myself as a hobby and my content is also a digital legacy to look back on. If other people enjoy my videos, photos or blog stories, then this is the best compliment ever. ❤️
Creating videos takes a lot of time, and with a full‑time job I rarely get the chance to work on big projects. I don’t talk to the camera as I’m too shy for that, and honestly starting to feel old and slow for the whole ‘digital creator’ thing. 😂
There are so many amazing people online who do it brilliantly. The internet is full of inspiring talent, and I love watching what others create.
Most of my videos are uploaded to my YouTube channel, and I usually share them across my other social channels linked at the end of this page.
I’ll link some of my favourite videos below, but if you want to see more have a look at my YouTube channel linked above or my other channels.
Slains Castle video
This is my most recent video, filmed during a visit to Slains Castle. There was something mysterious about wandering through the ruins, and I loved every moment.

Isle of Arran videos
Ah the Isle of Arran, my happy go to place. This project of five videos and a poem I wrote took a long time to come together. A few of the video clips are not perfect, but I still love the final result.
River Ayr Way videos
The River Ayr Way was another time-consuming project of three videos, with many return visits to different locations. It’s one I’m really proud of though, especially as it was my first time walking the route, and I did it solo.
Waking up to a supermoon morning video
I was missing finding time to be creative one morning, so I stepped outside my back door and managed to create this short video using my phone. Look up and you’ll find there’s an ever-changing picture happening far above us. 🌕
Seasons of Scotland video project
I’m currently working on creating four videos for spring, summer, autumn and winter in Scotland. I love watching how the seasons change and with spring now here in Scotland (I’m writing this in April 2026), I’m planning to get outside more to capture the essence of spring.
I have video footage from last year, such as wild woodland garlic, bluebells and cherry blossom trees, but I’d love to spend more time looking for beautiful scenes. This is proving difficult just now as the Scottish weather has definitely not been in season. In late March and early April we’ve had sunshine, rain, hail, sleet, snow, gale force winds all in one day! 😂
I stepped outside my front door one morning in April to find a frosty underworld in the grass which looked so pretty.
Hopefully it will all come together atmospherically beautiful in my eyes. Rain, sleet, frost and snow included. 🌦️❄️🌸🐝
