I love to spend quality family time at... Portobello beach. I grew up in Portobello, and my mum still lives there. I love it. It doesn’t take much for our tough half-Finnish boys to strip and run into the freezing waves. Joy!
My favourite holiday spot is… The Isle of Arran. It’s a beautiful island that’s very accessible from the Central Belt and truly Scotland in miniature. Luckily we get to go there often for yoga retreats, Hogmanay ceilidhs, and hiking in all elements to blow away any cobwebs.

I’ll be shopping... For weddings! We have six this year. I’ve made a personal pledge to buy better and less frequently, so I need to ensure I’ll be able to get the proper wear out of any new clothes I do spend money on. I recently bought a dress from Maje for my brother’s wedding and I fully intend on rewearing it for upcoming nuptials.
I love to eat... At the wonderful Cail Bruich, situated on Glasgow’s Great Western Road. This is fine dining at its best. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, the incredible staff know their stuff— five stars every time!
hen it comes to pizza, we like to think we know our way around an 18”, so it makes sense that Darina Garland has long been on our radar. Co-founder and chief experience officer at Ooni Pizza Ovens, the world’s first portable pellet pizza oven, together with her husband Kristian, Darina has grown her family-owned business from a start-up founded in 2012 into Scotland’s fastest-growing private company. Now selling their game-changing portable pizza ovens in over 90 countries, Ooni is proving to be a hit internationally. Darina, however, is happiest when she’s in her native Scotland. And here, she shares what she loves to do on home soil...
I’ll be working on... Ooni Day—our annual cookout celebration where Ooni users from around the world cook awesome pizza on the same day! I can’t wait to see the creations flood through on social media.
