    • Chocolate Tree Grows Deep Roots

      Chocolate Tree Grows Deep Roots
      Dec 17 2025
      Ali and Frederike Gower’s adventure into the wonderful world of craft chocolate started back in 2005 when they toured music festivals selling their organic bars from their hand built, solar powered geodesic dome. From there Chocolate Tree have pioneered ethically sourced craft chocolate in Scotland by buying their cacao direct from farmers in Central and South America. We’re proud to be one of the Chocolate Tree’s wholesale customers, supplying their 70% organic Peruvian hot chocolate to cafés we work with across the Scottish Highlands.

      I visited Ali and Frederike’s factory or ‘atelier’ in East Lothian where their production was in full swing ahead of Christmas. From a modest farm building outside of East Linton, Chocolate Tree are manufacturing a huge variety of ‘bean to bar’ chocolates, from their range of single origin bars to boxes of sumptuous hand-made chocolates that are paired with ingredients such as bramble and cardamom, Blackthorn salt and Aztec spice.

      Ali took a break from the production line to talk about his chocolate craft, running a purpose led business and how Frederike and his unique blend of creativity, passion and attention to detail has grown deep roots. Find out more about Chocolate Tree at: https://www.choctree.co.uk

    • The Winter Warrior

      The Winter Warrior
      Feb 13 2025
      Anna Wells needs no introduction in the outdoor adventure world. Last year she shot into the limelight for being only the fourth person (and the first woman) to complete a round of all of Scotland’s munros in winter. Not only that but she matched the fastest time set by Martin Moran who completed the challenge in 1984/85 in an outrageously nippy 83 days. To match this feat Anna had to ‘move fast and light.’ She ran and snow shoed 282 munros between the 22nd of December 2023 and March 13th 2024.

      Previously well known on the international climbing circuit (including a fastest time on the Cuillin Ridge) Anna had to master the dark arts of winter mountaineering before setting out. Anna pioneered her own style of flexible route finding and tackled the hills with guile, peak fitness and an indomitable spirit. I caught up with her to delve into the details of her planning and approach as well as to try and find out just what draws her to the mountains.

      Since completing the round Anna hasn’t stopped for breath. Her social media pages are filled with daring adventures in the snow that include paraglide skiing. She is writing her book ‘Winter Munro Round’ and still finds time to study data science as well as run her guiding company ‘Rocks and Trails.’

    • Homecoming for the Brew Brothers

      Homecoming for the Brew Brothers
      Dec 18 2024
      Ever since setting up Wasted Degrees in their family garage in 2016 brothers Jack and Conall Low have pioneered diversity in craft ale in Scotland. Apart from a few trusted regulars no two of their brews are the same and they use a diverse range of locally sourced ingredients such as Scottish grown wet hops and pine needles in their ales. They are super excited about moving their business from Blair Atholl into a purpose built brewery and taproom in their home town of Pitlochry in Spring 2026. I caught up with Jack to chat about this homecoming and their innovative approach to craft ale.
