Finally we are live-exciting stuff!
My name is Anastasia and I am a researcher at the University of Aberdeen. I blog over http://natbeesfashion.blogspot.com about my life in Aberdeen, weekend getaways to other locations in Scotland and trips around the world. Come and say hi!
P.S: What a glorious, sunny day it is today!
Also ask me any questions on Instagram or Twitter if you are visiting Aberdeen anytime soon and you need recommendations.
My name is Marc Pickering, you can find me on Instagram (@lochgmarcp) where I post the many stunning views and areas to be found in Scotland. Excited to be on board as an ambassador and have a forum for discussing/sharing all things Scotland!
Looking forward to meeting you all on here and come say hi at my Instagram account

I'm Michelle and I'm one of the @VisitScotland Community Ambassadors.
I'm from Glasgow and grew up all over the world (Singapore, Kuwait and Paris) before settling back in Glasgow where I work in IT by day (ah yes, one of those geeky people!) and by night, I blog about food, life and travel within Glasgow and beyond (shameless plug to links in my signature below *cough*!).
I adore Scotland and love nothing better than exploring my surroundings or overdosing on some great shellfish!
Looking forward to meeting you all

ScotlandAdventures - I checked our moderation queue for any of your posts, but couldn't see any - you may have been caught in a brief forum glitch as we are still adjusting visual layout and design. Apologies for that.
laretour - You got put in our Spam queue, but are now verified so you should be able to post without getting caught by the filters again.
Apologies for folk getting flagged as spam - being bloggers, instagrammers and so on, you tend to be link-heavy in your signatures and posts, which I think is triggering the spam routines. If you see a comment disappear into the ether, please private message me and I will make sure you are verified.
I'm Susanne, a Scottish travel blogger at Adventures Around Scotland and I have been living and travelling in Scotland all my life. I love inspiring people to get out and enjoy adventures off the typical tourist trail and discover the lesser known Scottish gems.
I'm originally from Glasgow and lived there most of my life although I now live on the Isle of Bute and have spent some time living in the Highlands too which has allowed me to experience the amazing diversity of city, island and Highland life.
I'm looking forward to sharing advice and picking up tips about the amazing country I am l;lucky enough to call home

My name is Kirsty, I live in Falkirk and I'm originally from Dunoon, Argyll. I love talking about Scotland so I'm excited to be involved in this forum!
Having grown up in the countryside I've always loved walking and the outdoors life, but in recent years have caught the 'munro bagging' bug
We travel around Scotland as much as we can and I particularly love the scenery in the Hebrides, the north west highlands and the Cairngorms.
I've been involved in Highland Dancing for many years, so fairly familiar with the Highland Games circuit too.
Look forward to talking to you soon.

I'm Emma (aka The Edinbug), and I am obsessed with everything Edinburgh. I have lived in the city for nearly 10 years and yet I am still discovering new things to see and do every day.
I can't wait to get even more inspiration from this forum and sharing some of my favourite Edinburgh tips with you - it's going to be a lot of fun!
I've still to get my signature sorted but in the meantime you can find out more about me on my little corner of the internet: edinbug.com.
See you around!

Just a note for those encountering spam issues, we have tweaked a setting so that you will be automatically verified one minute after creating your account and should be able to post without triggering the spam filters after that.
We'll be tightening this up once the forum is open to the general public, but for now this should stop our members losing their introduction posts!
