For me, home is anywhere I feel relaxed, appreciated and connected with people I love.

nuala kennedy

A space in which I can rest, grow, entertain, be entertained, feel lonely or happy to be alone. It has been many places over the years but has mostly been a lovely haven wherever I've been in the world

Somewhere to relax and unwind, surrounded by memories and love

A warm comfy sofa that envelops me, protecting me and those I love from harm. Somewhere I can just be; no pretense; no games. Where it's OK to laugh til I cry, or cry til I laugh again. Freedom.

Susanne

Where I feel most centred, most loved, most able to love those around me. Its not just four walls & a roof- what, rather who, is in it that counts!

Home is where you are surrounded by loved ones and domesticated animals, comfortable beds, a full refrigerator, and a huge couch for discipline and discovery.

n't where I grew up or where my family is. Its being in Glasgow with my partner and I suppose no matter where we go that is where home is.

Ross Wight

my family, familiar people, place, animals and things. Knowing where everything is and how it works or why it doesn't. My own bed. Home is a place to welcome people in and a refuge to shut them out.

Home is being myself. I can laugh, cry, be annoyed or angry, I don't need to wear a mask or try to be something I am not. I feel safe & secure, loved and accepted.

For me, home is Seil Island. Though I only lived there from the age of 13 to 18, it's where my parents live and it feels very much like the family home. Being on the island energizes me.

My wife and 2 wee sons, wherever they or I may be. But also a deserted beach in Sutherland, Edinburgh in the Festival, enjoying a dram in Shanghai, and anywhere above 3000 feet in Scotland.
