Why We Left London for a 300-Year-Old Home in the Scottish Highlands

A year and a half ago, we made a decision that changed everything—we left London and moved to a 300-year-old house in the Scottish Highlands. In this video, I share why we made that move (autism, burnout, and a longing for quiet) and how this old house and its landscape have helped me begin again. From discovering painting, to finally finding space for myself after raising children, to letting go of the need for perfection—life here has become about creativity, healing, and whimsy. ✨ If you love old house tours, cozy interiors, the mystery of the Scottish Highlands, and gentle living, I’d love to welcome you here in The Gentle Season. 📍 Featured in this video: – Why we left London for the Highlands – An update on painting the “big room” – 3 ways the Highlands have helped me heal #scottishhighlands #oldhouse #lifeinscotland #gentleliving #cottagecore #slowliving
