Welcome to Slow Scottish Stories.
A publication designed to help you slow down and celebrate everything that make’s you YOU.
Who am I?
Hello, I’m Molly. I’m a full time content creator, living in our Tiny Home, nestled in the Scottish Highlands.
You can often find me exploring my wild Scottish home, with my border collie Skye as my trusty sidekick. Or perhaps spending a cosy day cooking yummy plant food in our Tiny Home kitchen or getting lost in another beloved book.
I’m thrilled to have already built a wonderfully loyal community here on Substack and over on my YouTube, with over 50K of you in total!
All in all, I’m a slow living fanatic and proof that, if you really want to, you can reject the hustle culture and live the life YOU desire.
Molly's Substack is a breath of fresh air in a noisy world. I love her take on slow living, especially living in her tiny home in the Scottish Highlands! 🤍 Simple & Calm
What is Slow Scottish Stories?
I don’t know about you, but I find the internet far too loud. The amount of content available is overwhelming. Everyone competing for our ever-diminishing attention spans, with unrealistic curated photos and shouty videos. It led me to quitting social media entirely.
I want a simpler way to connect with my community. Enter Substack.
This algorithm free space allows me to really talk with my community. It is a space that I can share all my musings; from my personal reflections, book recommendations, insights into my creative career, extracts from my nature diary, guidance on how to live a slow and sustainable life and, mostly importantly, celebrate the ordinary moments of everyday.
All delivered straight to your inbox.
As an introvert and a highly sensitive person, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where we can support each other and our community of kindred spirits can really flourish.
Slow. Gentle. A deep breathe out. That is how I feel when I read Slow Scottish Stories. A deep invitation to pause and walk much more mindfully upon Mother Earth. I highly recommend Slow Scottish Stories. Soft. Simple. Still

Still not sure? I thought I’d share some wonderful words from my beautiful members that have found value in my work…
