Episode 56 - Tamzin Munro

From County Durham to the Isle of Skye, from property law to energy law, and from suburban life to a home with bees, vegetables and a leaky roof, this conversation with Tamzin Munro is a beautiful journey through change, courage and community.Tamzin joins us from Southern Skye where she balances life as a mum of three with her role as an energy solicitor for Gillespie MacAndrew. Her story begins with childhood holidays in the Highlands, the pull of wide open spaces and the dream of one day making the move north. Years later, it was remote working during COVID that opened the door for her family to finally take the leap.We talk about the challenge of uprooting a life that was comfortable and full, the relief of being welcomed immediately by the local community, and the joy of discovering new interests from beekeeping to volunteering at the local park run. Tamzin shares the reality of navigating isolation when working remotely, and the importance of saying yes to new experiences in order to create connection and put down roots.We dive into her transition from English property law to Scottish energy law, her experience of requalifying while raising a family, and the incredible shift happening within the energy sector as Scotland works toward a cleaner and more resilient future. From grid reform to community benefits and landowner involvement, Tamzin gives us a grounded and thoughtful insight into the opportunities ahead for rural Scotland.This episode is full of honesty capturing the spirit of starting again, the power of community and the confidence that comes from backing yourself during big life changes.
