I'm Laura and I am originally from Glasgow but I'm currently studying in Aberdeen. I write a lifestyle blog at the floral elephant, which currently contains a whole lot of food and some travel.
I'm looking forward to sharing all my favourite parts of this bonnie wee country!

Firstly, thanks to Visit Scotland for inviting me to this community forum. I feel very privileged to be part of this considering I'm very much still a beginner at blogging. I started my Love Exploring Scotland blog in November 2015, mainly to challenge myself to improve my writing and digital skills.
I love my home country Scotland and when I can I like to visit new places. I always take photos, too many actually, so I thought it was time to start sharing these and what an adventure it has been so far!
I hope that my wee blog inspires the community to get outdoors more often and explore our bonnie Scotland. I also look forward to reading posts in this community and helping if I can.
Let's explore Scotland together
Thanks

I am 26 year old Emma from Edinburgh. I have only recently returned to bonny Scotland after spending three years living, working and travelling in Asia and the Americas. You can see my previous travels on instagram @emmagaffer.
Now it's time for me to discover more about my own beautiful neighbourhood.
I'm looking forward to sharing my adventures, getting tips from all of you guys and learning more about Scotland.
Thanks

I'm based in Edinburgh - I've been here for 10 years on and off - but I'm originally from Angus on the east coast.
Great to see all the posts so far - looking forward to talking with everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself too...
I'm Esther and I'm also with VisitScotland. I was born on Mull, grew up in Argyll and now stay in Edinburgh.
I'm looking forward to speaking to people from all over the world, and helping them to get the most from a visit to our lovely country.
I forgot to say hi when I joined (doh!). I work at VisitScotland too, a born and bred Edinburger!!
I am Reiner 45 years old from Stuttgart, Germany. I love Scotland over all. I am a member of Historic Scotland and love to take photos in Scotland. VisitScotland shared some of my photos on Instagram. You may now my Instagram Gallery: reinair0903
I just came back from Scotland and I cannot wait to be back.
I also work for VisitScotland so will be on here to help and participate in the really interesting chat, loving the posts so far, really interesting and useful. I currently live in the Kingdom of Fife but have also lived in Dundee and Glasgow during my student days.
I'm Lynsey, I live in West Lothian and I'm passionate about Scottish food and drink. Aren't we lucky to have a country full of such amazing produce and restaurants? I blog about food and drink over on http://girlversusfood.com/
Looking forward to chatting with you all and hearing more about what you love about Scotland.

I just realised I hadn't introduced myself. How rude!
I'm Kay, an Edinburgh lass who travels Scotland by public transport and on foot (unless I can blag a lift!) and writes about it at TheChaoticScot.
I love taking pictures of scenic landscapes/seascapes, beautiful architecture and food. You can check out my colourful snaps on the social media channels in my signature below.
I'm a Scottish history geek (and chatterbox) from my years working as a tour guide in the Highlands, and have been inspired ever since to see and learn more.
My favourite travel destination is the Scottish Islands
I could talk/write about Scotland all day...
Have a wee nosey at my blog

Looking forward to seeing people's suggestions of things to do - you guys all have such great, diverse knowledge! @GlasgowFoodGeek what kind of dogs do you have? I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Bertie! He's still quite wee but I'm hoping to take him on lots of Scottish adventures soon.
Just to let everyone know, we have just done a restructuring of the site categories to make things a little simpler and hopefully make it easier for you to find the discussion you're looking for. We continue to welcome your feedback on the community and how it's working for you.
I'm Sheena - another member of the VisitScotland team.
Born in Edinburgh and now living in West Lothian, I'm enjoying the best of both worlds - working in the city and living in the countryside. And I also try to get out and explore the rest of this fantastic country as often as possible.
Looking forward to chatting with you soon.
I am Alison and I am a Seasonal VSA in the Arbroath IC (This is my second season now). I started off in administration (many years ago) and recently took early retirement from Primary teaching about 4 years ago. I got restless and applied for this VS position and absolutely love it! It is such an interesting mixture different skills and is the first time I have really been able to use spoken French and German! Needless to say I am a bit rusty but really enjoying brushing up. I started learning Spanish 4 years ago and have used that quite a bit here too. Being made a Moderator will be a learning curve as I am not very internet savvy! I am a passionate promoter of my beloved Angus and enjoy gallivanting to "a' the airts" so enjoy reading other people's experience around Scotland.
Hope to chat to you all at some point!
