OUR LIFE IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
Welcome to Stay Intrigued!

For our ramblings on life, gear reviews or progress updates on our move to the North West Coast, follow the blog here. Follow us on Instagram or YouTube for all our wild camps or drop us a line if you fancy a chat – we’d love to hear from you!
