We closed as one of the features that makes such a pleasure to enjoy, also makes it vulnerable to storms and big waves 🌊

is right on the shoreline. It has breathtaking views of The Isle of May.

I have sat, in with guests and watched the most incredible sun rises and sunsets
💛🧡❤️

We have also watched several pods of dolphins swim past, seals and gorgeous little redshanks and other wading birds, dipping about in the rock pools, on front of the sauna 🐬 🦭 🐦

The sauna itself, like all is made by Jamie Maclean one of the now famous who spent much of last year rowing The Pacific Ocean 🛶

Made of beautiful quality mid-Alder, it not only offers stunning views, but also a stunning interior that glows, reflecting the light of sunrises and sunsets 🔥

Way back in October 2023 when had been open for nearly 1.5yrs published an article in titled ‘A Sweat With A View’.

The article was based on a visit with back on a freezing day the previous March.

Back then they were both known collectively for their highly successful series of wild swim books and beach saunas were a new concept in Scotland.

Back then, as far as sauna owner-operators, in Scotland, go, there wasn’t much about, only Kirsty in Portobello and myself, here, in Elie, and that was it!

I remember pushing Vicky, who it took from March 2023, to October 2023 to actually publish the article, as she felt it was too early to write about and the whole movement hadn’t taken off yet.

By the time that Vicky did finally publish the article in Haar Sauna, which had been the first mobile, public sauna on the Aberdeen sea front, over the winter of 2021/22 until its owners leased it out, to various different places and moved to Norway, had come back under owner-operation and established itself in its now long-term home, on Shetland. So, there were, now 3 seaside saunas that could write about.

I see some of the early articles about sauna as iconic, ‘I Call It Sauna Head’ in back in June 2022, sent us all in the sauna movement into a spin, to see sauna mentioned in the mainstream press. Vicky Allan’s October 2023 article was one of those iconic articles.

At that point there might just have been 3 of us to write about, but the article had a big impact and got the concept of an outdoor sauna into people’s brains.

One thing that amazed me is how quickly, between that article being published and me opening the large shared sauna in February 2024, the concept of going to a beach to have a sauna became normalised. A few months later, in June 2024, I was speaking at the first ever Sauna Summit 🔥

So, after all that time, nearly 3 years, since her first visit to her first ever Scottish seaside sauna, it was great to welcome back to and show her 🔥
Sauna number five of my 11 wild saunas in a single day. Judith Dunlop's Elie Seaside Sauna was the first wild sauna I went to in Scotland and I regard her as one of the pioneers! Is it really December? It feels like summer as we arrive.

Thanks to for hosting and all the sauna chat.

And for filming!
Just after New Year received a visit from some of the lovely 🔵🔵

‘The Ballers’ have been going for 4 years, now and have been visiting for 3 of those years ❤️‍🔥

Since they first visited, in February 2023, many more saunas have opened in Scotland and the BBs can be spotted regularly however, it is always a joy to see their names on our booking sheet 💙💙

The guys have recently launched The Blueballs Annual. The Annual is unusual in that it features men’s stories, something that most of us don’t get the opportunity to read.

I have ‘known’ many of these men for 3 years, however, I don’t ‘know’ their back stories. I have only sat in a sauna and sauna’ed with a couple of them on a few of occasions. However, reading some of the stories, in the annual, you get beneath the surface of each of those profiled and understand what being a part of such a supportive group means to each and every one of them in their own particular way.

On this occasion, ‘the guys’ road tested new range of sauna hats, made for us, to commission by skilled, Fife-based felter from wool from sheep that graze a couple of miles from our St. Andrews sauna 🔥

Please head to the link in the bio 🔗 to browse our range of hats and other sauna accessories.🔥

If you are interested in picking up a copy of annual please go to their website. We will also have a few copies available at our saunas and available from The Scottish Seaside Saunas website, too, soon.

Both sauna and cold water swimming groups support the mental and physical wellbeing of those that participate in them regularly. 🔥

As I am writing this, it is Saturday evening and I have a sauna full of people who went in as strangers, relaxing together, chatting and making connections 🔥

The message that I take away from reading the stories in the annual is that if you have serious mental illness, seek professional support, however swim groups like and regular sauna can help keep you well ❤️‍🔥 #mensmentalhealth

Winter weekend, in Elie are perfect for energising walks around the headland that includes The Lady’s Tower and Elie Ness Lighthouse, or along The Fife Coastal Path followed by a sauna and a dip in Elie Harbour, under a blazing sunset, or starlit skies ✨

It was kind of lost, in the whole Norwegian Sauna trip, but last week The Sunday Telegraph listed Scottish Seaside Sauna sauna as one of the top 10 saunas to visit in The UK

We had some pretty amazing company the brand new and

The listing came as a bit of a shock and I was so overwhelmed that I almost lost my passport, on the way to the airport. ✈️

However, I managed to retrieve it and we all had a successful trip, with our guests experiencing amazing Aufguss rituals and community saunas However, it is super-nice to come home to my lovely saunas and share them all with you x
