Graeme Johncock, the travel blogger and storyteller behind Scotland's Stories, is now bringing his adventures to us in a weekly column. He will journal about his explorations around Scotland, sharing fascinating stories and highlighting unique places to visit. Accompanied by his dog Molly, Graeme continues to uncover and share the rich history and beauty of Scotland.

August has seen me back on the road almost constantly, leading small tours around Scotland. I take people all over the country, but there are some places that are often high on visitor’s agenda. More than anything, I get asked about the west coast islands.

It’s not surprising really, there’s jaw-dropping natural beauty to be found there along with incredible tales of history and folklore. On top of all that, the narrow, winding roads aren’t suited to inexperienced drivers!
