Our guest today is Glasgow-based, Charlotte Belle. A freelance content creator and adventurer, Charlotte has experienced wild saunas all across Scotland, from Edinburgh to Glasgow to the Isle of Aran. I’m so happy to have her join us today to talk about the Scottish wild sauna scene, what makes a sauna a “wild sauna,” and share her most memorable Scottish sauna experiences.

Follow along with Charlotte’s “mini adventures” into wild swimming and wild sauna on Instagram @chartlottescotland.

• Defining “wild sauna” and “wild swimming” and what makes it a unique wellness experience

• Some special Scottish wild sauna locales
