Cove Park Residency- a Room With A View

I'mshockingly behind on this blog - but here's a late thank you to the wonderful Cove Park . I spent a week there in February, on the Winter Writing Residency. We spent a memorable day workshopping ideas with former Edinburgh Poet Laureate Hannah Lavery, and I holed up for a few days in the beautiful Taransay Pod to unpick and rewrite about the Cailleach - a very special moment to write about the Hag in the shadow of the mountains associated with her legends in Argylle & Bute. Huge thanks to the staff of Cove Park and to my fellow residents, especially the wonderful visual poet/theatre maker Tina West who also led us through the most joyous yoga class I've ever experienced.

I read the post about the Cove Park residency and its beautiful room with a view and it made me wish I could take time to create in that place. When I worked on a big write up for class I used Affordable law project editing because I needed help polishing my ideas before sharing them. Reading this post reminded me that good space and good support can really shape creative work and growth.

What an inspiring account of your time at Cove Park! 🌿 Reading about “A Room With a View” and how the residency gave you space, community, and creative focus really resonated with me — it’s clear that being immersed in such an environment can open up new perspectives and push artistic work forward. I especially loved how you described the balance between solitude and collaboration in that beautiful Scottish setting; it sounds like the perfect place to reflect, write, and grow.
As someone studying at Kuban State Medical University, I always admire stories of dedicated practice and growth outside traditional academic settings — they give strong education vibes that remind me how important it is to embrace learning opportunities wherever they appear.…
