With summer fast approaching, and the prospect of adventures further than your front door on the horizon, I decided to take a look back at my favourite Scottish summer trip, The West Highland Way.

On the 21st of March we celebrate International Day of Forests and the theme this year is Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being.

The year started on a high at ISPO 2020 when Steve and I were invited out to Munich after being selected by the judges at ISPO Brandnew (one of the biggest, most respected competitions in the sports industry) as one of the top 50 newcomers! Whilst we didn’t win the final, we were very excited to be one of the few selected brands in the urban sports category and have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the top industry players. It was none other than our Recycled Parka that caught the judges eye and attracted the attention of buyers from around the world!

Five Rings Coffee founders Callum Skinner, Philip Hindes and Owain Doull will be at their Meadowbank Cafe in the Meander Apparel pop up shop on George Street this weekend (14th-15th November)

We’re absolutely delighted to have opened the doors to our Meander HQ store in the stunning area of Stockbridge, Edinburgh after over two years on George Street. We couldn’t be happier to be here, amongst some very cool neighbouring stores and lovely people. Our store sells our full range of sustainable technical clothing for your everyday adventures, as well as a selection of other items from local Scottish brands (full list of in-store partner brands can be found below).

To mark World Mental Health Day this year, we were honoured to chat with Ben Atiga, former All Blacks player and current Scottish Rugby Union Player Liaison about his own journey with mental health, his inspirations and what it’s like being a Kiwi in the capital of Scotland.

We’re often asked about the shoes we feature in our photoshoots, as well as the shoes we wear ourselves and with so many great options on the market, we thought we’d pull together a list of some of our favourite brands to help you take a step in the right direction. Setting up sustainable habits starts from the ground up, so where better to start than with a fab pair of sustainable sneakers!

Whether you’re a seasoned bothy user or want to learn more about using these incredible buildings, we’ve put together a guide covering the dos and don’ts, as well as what makes bothies so special and how you can use one during your next Scottish adventure.
