About the Substack

I share stories from my life and my Scottish homeland. I hope they inspire you to reflect on your own experiences, using different perspectives. Please, tell your stories, and keep your memoirs & photos safely, creating a legacy for future generations.

About KateMotleyStories

I write to encourage people to write their own stories; to show who they are, what they love, and how they live. And to save their stories, photos & mementos safely, thereby leaving a legacy for future generations.
