Eat Sleep Wild is for people who love great food, wild places, and sleeping under the stars.

I’m Monica Shaw, an outdoorsy, food loving, free spirited mountain leader living on the west coast of Scotland with Mark and our dog Lucky. Together we’re working to take Eat Sleep Wild to the next level, providing not just great content, but also private guided trips in the Scottish Highlands.
Private Guided Adventures
We provide private hiking, wild camping and outdoor cooking experiences in and around the Highlands of Scotland. Our experiences are small, personal, and 100% inclusive, because the mountains don’t care about your sexuality, gender, race, income, background, or fitness level.

Astro Nights
We have a Meade 200mm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that we take to select dark sky spots here in Argyll. These evenings are normally run over winter to take advantage of the longer dark skies we enjoy here on the west coast.
