My stay in Scotland with Kate and her dog Mac was amazing! Kate is such a kind person, she took me to many different places around to show me the area and tell me about some history aswell. Even if she was working during the week we shared dinner together and had nice conversations in the evenings. We also went swimming in the sea even it was just… read more

We stayed with Kate, Becky and Mac for nearly two weeks and we would have loved to stay longer! Kate and Becky are very openminded, patient and always smiling:D It was a great experience to get a little inside in Scottish „Highlandlife“ and the culture. The landscape and the view from the living room is amazing, especially for reading;) We did… read more

We had such a good time with Kate. She is one of the kindest person that we know and Glenelg is a really nice place to spend time.
We visited a lot of places (around the house and with Kate, we went kayaking and thanks to her we discovered the surroundings. Thank you so much again !!!)
Our work was mostly general maintenance of the house :… read more

I stayed with Kate during 2 weeks, and I can say that it was one of the best experiences in my life. Kate lives in a wonderful countryside, in a lovely house. Staying with her it’s like take part in her family, in her community. From my first day she included me in her friendly cercle, I met Maggie and went watch children playing at this famous… read more

We stayed at Kate's home for 12 days with one of our friends, Mélanie. And what an extraordinary experience it was!
For our first Workaway we met the most friendly person in the world, Kate is so gentle and kind.
It broke our hearts to leave, as Kate, Becky and Mac the dog made us feel as part of a family.
The surroudings are magnificent and the… read more

Dan and Mathilde came with Melanie from France for a week or so. They worked really hard varnishing the exterior windows and chopping the hedge. It would have taken me a long time to do these things. I enjoyed their lovely company especially having nice meals together. Good luck in finding a job!

I only stayed with Kate for one week, but it was a great one! There is so much to see and Kate was really good at describing where I need to go and very nice taking me to places. The area is amazingly beautiful.
Nearly every day I went swimming with Kate and her friends. It was freezing cold but an awesome experience!

I came to Kate's home with two friends, Dan and Mathilde. It was an amazing place to stay, because even if we stayed only 12 days, it felt like a second home. It was my first workaway experience, and I enjoyed it fully! Taking care of the house (cooking, cleaning, gardening, grocery shopping, sanding and varnishing windows) was rewarding, because… read more

Melanie came for a short time with her two friends. She immediately took charge of the kitchen and cooked delicious meals, always saving the extra for my lunch which was great as I was extremely busy at that time. She helped out in other ways too and I enjoyed learning about France. Thanks Melanie and I hope you enjoy the USA!

Kate is really a great host! I came together with Nanna and we had the most wonderful time staying with Kate and Mac. I planed to stay about 2 weeks but ended up staying nearly 6 weeks. Mac is such a good dog and the hole village made me feel welcome. It felt more like a second home than a place to stay just on my travel. Kate took us some some… read more

Luis arrived at the start of lambing season and helped out feeding sheep, gardening and cooking meals. He was a lovely person to have around, an excellent cook and I learned lots of interesting things about Mexico and his studies in Holland.

I stayed with Kate and Mac for about four weeks.

The tasks were fairly easy and rewarding. I got to learn a lot about lambing and lamb care, as well as herding. I did quite a bit of gardening, and Kate allows for a lot of creative freedom.

Glenelg has amazing views all over. There are waterfalls, lochans, hills and lots of hiking paths. The… read more

We stayed with Kate for 5 weeks in January and February. It was simply the best!

Kate is a lovely woman, who is very interested in learning all about different cultures and people - we had many funny conversations about the differences between Scotland and Denmark. Kate took us a lot of exciting places and it was all together a delight to see… read more

Valentina and her sister stayed for 3 weeks in November. She was a delight to have stay, being very good fun with a great sense of humour and enthusiastic about everything. She and her sister were a good team, cooking and doing gardening etc. We had a good time exchanging language and culture. Come back and visit again!

Natalia and her sister came to stay for a few weeks. I didn’t know what a gastronomic feast I was in for. Natalia is a fantastic chef. She can look in the fridge and perform a miracle which lands on the table. A lovely girl with great sense of humour and gentleness she was an easy visitor to have in the house. We had lots of fun and I learned… read more

Me and my sister spend almost 3 weeks in Kate’s house, This was one of the most incredible experiences we had have in our travel. The weather wasn’t the best because, of course, was winter but this was not a impediment for enjoy the Highlands. The place it’s just magic. In the morning you can hear the river that its next to the house or other days… read more you just hear the wind and rain hahaha.
I’ve seen one of the most sublime sunset of my life. The sky full of colors, wild clouds that moves faster that you can even imagine. If you look for a place for connect yourself with the nature… this could be the place for you.
In the nearest town (30 min by bicycle) there’s a bar really original that deserves a visit. In regard to the work, we help in the garden, taking away some pines and planting flowers. In the house we clean and sort some closets, and the last and my favorite one, cooking . Thanks Kate for letting me experiment in the kitchen, for being interested in how I prepare all the meals and mostly for eating all ours dishes. We will always have you, Mac and Scotland in our hearts. We wait you in Chile when you want!!!

Con mi hermana pasamos alrededor de 3 semanas en casa de Kate. Fue una de las experiencias más extraordinarias que hemos vivido en nuestro viaje. El tiempo no era el mejor dado que fue en diciembre, pero no nos impidió disfrutar de las tierras altas. El lugar es realmente mágico. Por las mañanas se puede escuchar el río que pasa al lado de la casa o cierto días sólo escuchas el viento y la lluvia hahhahaha. He visto uno de los atardeceres más imponente de mi vida. El cielo lleno de colores, nubes salvajes que se mueven más rápido de lo que podrías imaginar. Si buscas un lugar para conectarte con la naturaleza...este podría ser el tuyo! En el pueblo más cercano (30 minutos en bicicleta), hay un bar muy original el cual vale la pena visitar.En cuanto al trabajo, ayudamos en el jardín sacando algunos pinos o plantando rosas. En la casa limpiábamos y organizamos algunos armarios. Y por último y mi preferido cocinar. Gracias Kate por dejarme experimentar en toda tu cocina, por interesarte en la preparación de los plato y por sobre todo comer cada una de nuestra preparaciones. Siempre te llevaremos a ti, a mac y a Escocia en nuestros corazones. Te esperamos en Chile cuando quieras!!!

It was a pleasure to have Anna, Julia and Shannon stay. They were willing workers but much more importantly lovely lovely girls, considerate and really good fun. We enjoyed learning about Australia from them and were glad to have them stay.

Myself and my two friends had the most wonderful stay with Kate, her son Uisdean and their border collie, Mac. Kate was an incredibly warm and easy-going host, so that we felt at home right away. We were also welcomed into her lovely community as we were taken to local gatherings and events going on at the time. As she was on her school holidays,… read more
