About This Issue
It brings us enormous pleasure to welcome you to Issue 10 of Hidden Scotland Magazine, our Spring/Summer 2025 edition. As an independent publication, the fact that we’ve now reached a double-figure landmark is a source of huge pride – and as such, we wanted this issue to be a celebration.
There’s never a shortage of things to celebrate in Scotland, but on this occasion we felt it was especially apt to shine a light on some of the remarkable people that make this country the place it is. In this spirit, our round-up feature looks at ten of the most inspiring people and projects around the nation: those entrepreneurs and free thinkers who, through skill and determination, have seen their creative plans and dreams come to life.
It’s one of many such features in this issue. We also take a curated tour of Glasgow’s highlights in the company of local shop owner Karen Harvey, chat with Hugo Macdonald and James Stevens about their Leith shop and gallery, and interview Kim and Andy Murray (you know the one) on their award-winning luxury hotel.
Elsewhere, we travel along the length of the Highland Boundary Fault, introducing some of the wonderful characters we encounter en route, from distillers, cyclists and geologists to path-builders, photographers and ceramic artists.
For Scotland, of course, playing home to extraordinary people is nothing new. To honour this, we’re also celebrating many of those who have come before, from iconic names like Flora MacDonald and resistance leader Andrew de Moray to lesser-known heroes such as Bill Gault, whose life is detailed in a fascinating look at the last of the country’s lighthouse-keepers.
All this, and there’s still space for much more. We take an in-depth look at the beautiful Borders region, dig into the world of ancient grains, profile a new Edinburgh restaurant and spotlight some of the best nature-based accommodation. And the first feature in this edition is a personal one – a trip that our family of three made at the start of this year, to mark the magazine’s tenth issue.
As ever, we hope the following pages bring you happiness and inspiration.
Happy reading, and enjoy the journey. Slàinte mhath.
