Since this is the first entry, it is only fitting that we start from the beginning.  To introduce myself, my name is Fiona and I am originally from a very small town in Scotland named Kilmaurs located to the southwest of Glasgow.

My husband, Ian, and I have led a very simple life in the rolling green of East Ayrshire until recently when we made a very big decision…we decided to transfer to the warm and sunny South Carolina coast in the United States.

This decision was not exactly happenstance.  You see, Ian has been employed by the maker of fine travel accessories, Rowallan of Scotland, for the past 5 years.  In October 2008, based on the trust and belief of the founding directors that she was the right person to take Rowallan to new heights, the lovely Kathleen McHugh was chosen to be the successor of the company.  When she officially took over the reigns, Kathleen moved the Rowallan headquarters from Scotland to South Carolina, thereby improving not only customer service but giving the line a decidedly American~Scottish partnership and feel.  This opened up a wonderful opportunity for Ian to move up within the ranks of the company and for us to start a whole new exciting life in the Untied States of America…can you believe it?!

With this change also came the exciting news that Kathleen would like for us to become the main spokespersons for the Rowallan of Scotland brand!  So now, Ian and I have the chance to travel the world with Rowallan, spreading the word of their luxurious travel goodies.  I feel so lucky to be able to tag along on the ride and I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to write about our adventures here on this blog.  I cannot wait to get started; we have already seen such wonderful things I would like to share with you.  Just so you know, Ian will stop in every once in a while as well…he does not want to be left out, of course.  We hope that you will join us on our adventures…it is going to be so much fun!
