TartanSpoon is an award-winning Online Food & Drink Blog UK, Scotland Travel Blog and a Scotsman Food and Drink Influencer Top 4. I am a food writer and reviewer of restaurants, bars, staycations, accommodation and food & drink products, content creator, judge, panelist, speaker and collaborator based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I am a wanderlust food lover, a whisky enthusiast, a wine fan (WSET), a beer buff and a gin guru (EWA Diploma in Gin). I’m a member of the Guild of Food Writers and Women in Tourism; and a judge for the Great Taste Awards (The Guild of Fine Food).

I have travelled all over Scotland and to Barbados, Thailand, Poland and recently Greece on brand collaborations and press trips. I am open and available for national and international press trips to promote food and drink products and destinations.

I am passionate about Scottish produce, and will do my utmost to support Scottish suppliers and producers but happily work with global brands if its a good fit and I love what they do!

When working with a brand, I will create a bespoke content creation package depending on the budget.
