I live in a wee village in the Highlands of Scotland with my

two dogs, Millie and Kimber. You can often find us packed into the car and heading off for our next adventure! Travelling as a wheelchair user with two dogs in tow isn’t always easy, but I make it work and share my tips and tricks here.

I have Neuromyelitis Optica, a rare neurological disease that affects the brain stem, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In 2014 I was paralysed from the chest down and learned to walk again. I am now an ambulatory wheelchair user meaning I walk a small amount, but mostly use my manual wheelchair .

When I’m not away on an adventure you’ll find me in my study. Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig – I am learning Scottish Gaelic, and teaching beginner classes with An Clas Camelon.

You can keep up to date with me here, or on my social media channels. I’d love to hear from you!
