The Self-Isolation Chronicles ... Well, at least it was a lush day to look out on yesterday. 😊🌞 💫 Just thought I'd share some self-care tips with you whilst we're all house-bound for the foreseeable future. 💫 Do some daily yoga with the best yoga instructor I've ever had, @adrienelouise. Her yoga vids are as wonderful as they are multitudinous. You'll find them all on YouTube. Also, she has very sweetly made her FWFG subscription to more videos absolutely FREE just now! (Check out her website www.yogawithadriene.com) 💫 Do Sober Spring and follow @unexpectedjoyof who is sending out daily pieces of advice and tips to keep a clear head at a time when everyone might feel more inclined to reach for the bottle. We know alcohol is a mental health disaster zone, so ask yourself, "Do I REALLY want to deal with the hangover doom and gloom whilst I'm confined to the house?" 💫 Take Vitamin B as it's a real energy booster and makes you feel tonnes better! Oh, and stay well hydrated ... obvs! 💫 Get yersel' a meditation app such as @insighttimer. I love Mooji's meditations on this and again, it is FREE!! 💫 Take good care, pals. Look after yersel's and coorie on doon. This too shall pass.❤ Yours, aye Gill x #isolationchronicles #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selfcaretips #beautyyouseek #calmfluencer #creativityfound #dreaminginpictures #everydaypleasure #windowseat #windowdisplay #healthylifestyle #inspiremyinstagram #instagood #loveletterto #myslowandsimple #springvibes #theartofcoorie

This is Preston Mill and Phantassie Doocot in lush, East Lothian. It was used on three occasions in Season 1 of Outlander, most memorably when Jamie Fraser is mending a mill wheel at Lallybroch and the Redcoats appear. Jamie then has to hide under water whilst his sister, Jenny and Claire answer the soldiers questions. ⛰ It's exhibition room is also notable for being used as the court ante room for Geilis and Claire's witchcraft hearing. Preston Mill is both a spectacular and curious structure, of Dutch-style design, attracting historians, photographers and Outlander nuts alike. ⛰ If you're visiting Scotland, then this working water mill is definitely worth a visit. 🌠 Yours, aye Gill x #outlanderlovers #outlanderfans #outlanderobsessed #outlanderlove #outlanderlocations #scotland #lallybroch #visitscotland #adventurethatislife #beautifuldestinations #castlesofscotland #dreaminginpictures #exploremore #folkandstory #followyourbliss #greatphotographer #hiddenscotland #inspiremyinstagram #iamatraveller #littlemomentsofmylife #loveletterto #myslowandsimple #momentslikethese #postitfortheaesthetic #romance #scottishscenery #scotlandisnow #seeingthepretty #theoutbound #unlimitedscotland

Tiptoe through the verdant snowdrop carpet at Cringletie House (pronounced Crin-ley) and Gardens in the Scottish Borders. One of the top places to go in search of nature's post-winter, mood-enlighteners. #snowdropseason #snowdrops #springvibes #springiscoming #alliseeispretty #athomeintheworld #visitscotland #beautyyouseek #calmfluencer #dreaminginpictures #discoverearth #exploremore #scotlandisnow #scotlandinspring #bbcscotlandpics #hiddenscotland #littlemomentsofmylife #middleofnowhere #naturephotography #photographylover #postitfortheaesthetic #poetryofthesoul #romance #seeingthepretty #thewildernesstonic #theeverygirl

On this day in history (a couple of weekends ago), I did spirit myself away to the stunning East Lothian countryside. I took nothing with me but my purse, coffee cup, camera, tripod (and Guy Garvey from Elbow to keep me company with his BBC6 Music show) and just spent time roaming, discovering and happily snapping scenes. ⛰ Although I've never been an ardent mobile phone user, I like so many of us, have my moments - no, scratch that - hours where I find myself mindlessly browsing useless things and falling down never-ending Instagram holes. These here new-fangled Smartphones are hypnotic, addictive inventions after all! ⛰ So, in an effort to dismount the 'hedonic treadmill' of mobile phone useage, I jump in my car in search of pastures new and picturesque, and flee! And boy, do I feel better for it. Reconnecting with nature; adoring the disconnection from being constantly available. No alarms, no surprises, no comparisons ... silence (apart from Guy of course and his lovely, Mancunian brogue). When you need to digitally detox/take a tech break, what activities do you do?

Oh hiya Kinnoull Hill, ya braw stunner ye! ⛰ Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park to the east of Perth overlooks the River Tay as it meanders past 'The Fair City' on its way to meet the North Sea at Dundee. ⛰ This tranquil haven opened as Scotland’s first official woodland park in 1991. 🐿🦌🦅 You can often see roe deer, red squirrels and birds of prey up here as well as the excellent views across the Perthshire countryside. ⛰ The park also features grassy paths and waymarked nature trails through fine mixed woodland of Scots pine, larch, oak, birch and Norway spruce. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Walkers of all abilities can enjoy the variety of waymarked paths across the park, and the north slopes of the hill are relatively gentle and are the main route of ascent, starting from Corsie Hill car park. ⛰ A track leads along the edge of the cliffs to Kinnoull Tower, a 19th century romantic folly said to be a copy of the watchtowers found in the Rhineland in Germany.
