Hi, we’re the Travelling Wilbys — a husband-and-wife duo behind a Scotland and UK travel blog based on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada.
We share thoughtful travel guides, practical tips, and slow travel inspiration for Scotland, England, and destinations that feel rich in history and coastal beauty.
If you’re planning a trip to Scotland, dreaming of exploring England, or looking for meaningful travel inspiration, you’re in the right place.
A Vancouver Island Travel Blog with a UK Heart ❤
Living on Vancouver Island, we’re surrounded by rugged coastlines, forested trails, and dramatic Pacific skies. It’s a landscape that feels wild, grounding, and deeply peaceful.
But our travels kept pulling us across the Atlantic.
The first time we stood near Dunnottar Castle on Scotland’s northeast coast, we felt something familiar — the wind, the cliffs, the raw beauty. But Scotland offers something Vancouver Island doesn’t: thousands of years of visible history layered into the land.
That’s when our love for Scotland travel truly began.
What We Share on Travelling Wilbys
Travelling Wilbys is a Scotland and UK travel blog focused on:
- Scotland travel guides
- England travel inspiration
- Historic castles and ancient sites
- Road trip itineraries
- Practical travel tips for visiting Scotland
- Slow travel reflections
- Vancouver Island adventures
Whether you’re exploring the medieval streets of Edinburgh, discovering Neolithic history in the Orkney Islands, or planning your first UK road trip, we aim to provide helpful, honest, and inspiring content.
Our Travel Style: Slow, Intentional, History-Focused
We’re self-described introverts with a love of meaningful adventure.
We prefer:
- Early mornings before crowds arrive
- Scenic coastal drives
- Quiet historic sites
- Local cafés over busy tourist chains
- Depth over speed
Our style of travel is intentional. We don’t rush destinations — especially when travelling through Scotland’s Highlands or exploring historic cities like London.
We believe the best travel experiences happen when you slow down enough to feel them.
Why Scotland and England?
Scotland and England offer something we’re endlessly drawn to: layered history you can actually walk through.
From dramatic castle ruins near Stonehaven to ancient stone circles in northern Scotland, these places invite reflection.
As a Vancouver Island-based travel blog, we feel deeply connected to wild coastal landscapes — which is perhaps why Scotland feels like a distant cousin of home.
But it’s the stories, the centuries-old architecture, and the sense of stepping into the past that keep bringing us back.
