Welcome to Travelling Wilbys

Vancouver Island–based couple sharing our love of Scotland, England, and coastal life at home and abroad.
What began as a love of dramatic landscapes and quiet seaside towns has grown into a passion for exploring the UK’s islands, historic sites, and tucked-away pubs — thoughtfully and slowly.
From planning a trip to the Shetland Islands, to walking the cliffs near Dunnottar Castle, to discovering hidden pubs in England, we share practical travel tips, detailed guides, and the kind of honest insight we wish we had before we went.
Here you’ll find:
- Scotland travel guides & island itineraries
- UK travel planning tips
- Cozy pub recommendations
- Vancouver Island adventures
- Coastal road trips & slow travel inspiration
If you love coastlines, castles & cozy pubs — you’re in the right place.
