Visit TA-M's Favourite Locations

TA-M may not have been here long, but it appears he's wasted no time discovering a whole new world of incredible experiences. So far, he's bumped into some medieval knights at Abbotsford, a group of paddleboarders at Coldingham Bay, and a friendly herd of Beltie Cows.

He's also had a cashmere jumper made for him at Johnstons of Elgin, sampled delicious home-cooked scran at Wilson's Farm & Kitchen, and even tried his first ever G&T at Crafty Distillery.
