Rediscover Your Connection with Nature

In October 2019 (before the pandemic) I decided to start my own walking tour guide business in the Scottish Highlands. During this time living in the Highlands, I became deeply inspired by the aesthetic beauty of the natural landscape, mostly that of mountains. Here is a short extract from my article, Rediscover Your Connection with Nature through Ecotourism – Perthshire Magazine first published in 2020.

​

‘It was last year when I decided to start my own ecotour guide business, Eternal Mountain. The idea came after a move to Inverness didn’t plan out so well. Although I knew nothing about ecotourism at the time, when I came back to Killin (which is where I now live) I felt that this mountain landscape needed me, that I was seeing the village with new eyes. Even, that I had abandoned this landscape, but it had not abandoned me.’

​

Profoundly, seeing in the mountains, this complex relationship between their function and form, provide life, an essence with a unique presence when walking, provided me with a lasting impression in experience. Long-term in the form of my wellbeing and wellness, a genuine quality of life. Below is short extract from my book, Eternal Mountain: Essays from Afar first published in 2021, presenting a chapter of my wellness journey.

​

‘Life, therefore, is a story without end, and this makes me begin to think about my own arrival in Killin and the time I have spent here so far. I have lived in the village for over four years – not a long time for us humans. But when I begin to think about that space of time in terms of experience, it feels much longer. One might therefore be more daring and suggest that I have lived in the village for over 400 years (at least that is how it has felt at times), when I compare my experience to the age of the mountains surrounding me right now – over 500 million years old.’

​

This experience of spending time with nature, mountains therefore became my chosen affinity. Essentially, a quality of life that could only exist through my connection with nature.
