You are:
The Roman Traveller
You’re drawn to growth and small details. Gardens, herbs, sunlight, and the changing of seasons. You enjoy looking after things and seeing progress over time. You balance care with resilience, and you adapt well.
You Love: Mediterranean warmth, growing herbs, ancient history, bright, fresh scents, sunlight on stone.
Your Spring Ritual: Tending your garden, crushing thyme between your fingers.
Hadrian’s Wall spans from coast to coast, dissecting 73 miles across the north of England. Built to guard the northern frontier, its remains consist of forts, towers, and towns that once acted as silent sentinels keeping watch on the Wall.
Mood: Wild thyme creeps along the rough sandstone wall, aromatic and light, mingling with warm summer air and the scent of open grassland. Footsteps beat against the gravelled agger, the echoing sound of Rome, carrying imported goods. Scents of olive and bergamot drift along the Wall. Welcome to Roman Britain.
Fragrance: Orange, bergamot, thyme, lavender, eucalyptus, cedarwood and musk.

Preserved in the dunes of the Bay of Skaill, Skara Brae is a remarkably persevered Neolithic village in Orkney. Ancient homes outfitted with stone beds, dressers, and seats; it gives us a picture of what prehistoric life was like 5,000 years ago.
Mood: Tendrils of burning incense cloud the space, spiralling up towards the tapered roof above. Fire crackles in the hearth, flickering flames flaring shadows across the drystone walls. It’s cosy, warm, as you hunker down in your stone-lined bed, under the covers of well-worn fabric and musky leather. Sounds of village life echo, as you drift. You have entered the Neolithic.
Fragrance: Pepper, incense, leather, musk and vanilla.
Just beyond the west coast of the Isle of Mull lies the tiny island of Iona, filled with sandy white beaches and a rich historical landscape. In 563 AD, St Columba built his first monastery here which lasted until the end of 12th century, despite the reoccurring Viking raids!
Mood: Quills dip into rue and buck-thorn ink, scratching interlacing animals and saints into finely made parchment. Honeyed mead and incense cloud the space, sinking into the wicker walls and daub. Beyond the turf vallum, monks toil. Fresh hay and earth linger as storm approaches, bringing ships like fiery dragons. Welcome to the Early Medieval.
Fragrance: Honey, lavender, nutmeg, mint, patchouli, vanilla, and amber.
Built to house the dead, the Clava Cairns are one of Scotland’s most evocative mortuary landscapes dating from 4,000 years ago. Once part of a large complex, the site was once part of a sacred landscape, dotted with cairns, chambered cairns, standing stones, and rock-art. It is part of an interwoven, ever-changing landscape that meant so much to the Bronze Age society that created it.
Mood: The river flows, rippling through the landscape. Ancient sandalwood curls, blending with the fresh, sour scent of citrus, apple, jasmine, and crushed amber as the ritual chimes around you. Ancestors dance in the sky - blue, green, purple. They echo the pounding footsteps that beat around the sacred, richly interwoven landscape. The dead rejoice as you honour them. You have entered the Bronze Age.
Fragrance: Citrus, patchouli, ripe fruits, and crushed amber.
