Tales from the Otherworld
I open these pages to share my love of Scotland’s myths, legends, and folklore, the faerie otherworld, sacred landscapes, and the quietly enchanting places where story and land meet.

Stories are beginning to gather…
From March 2026, I’ll be opening the first chapters of Otherworldly Tales, walking tours, slow, story-rich journeys through Inverness, where myth, folklore, and landscape meet.
This small-group walking tour weaves together fairy lore, Highland legends, and the deeper stories embedded in hills, rivers, and stones. Beginning at Tomnahurich and following the River Ness, we explore the cultural memory and hidden layers of the city.
Ideal for curious travellers and lovers of folklore, this is a reflective, story-led way to experience Inverness beyond the guidebooks.
If you’re drawn to wandering slowly, listening deeply, and experiencing Scotland through story rather than spectacle, I invite you to join the mailing list. This is where tour dates, early booking, and new tales will be shared first.
Step into the Story, come and walk it with us.
