The Square Away Journal

Scotland, from People who actually live Here

This is where we share what we know. Not filler written to please a search engine, but the local knowledge that turns a good trip into a great one. Where to eat in Edinburgh’s New Town after a show. How to do Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument in a single day without rushing. Which Ayrshire golf courses are worth the green fee, and where to take the dog when the round is done. Guides to festival season, race day at Ayr, the best drives into Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, and the small practical things that only a host who lives half an hour up the road would think to tell you.
