When we left Edinburgh we drove through the Highlands and eventually ended up in Glasgow. I knew the Highlands would be beautiful but the views far surpassed my expectations. Have a look:
 |
| St. Andrews Golf Course: Swilcan Bridge |
 |
This is the view from the hotel we stayed in (see the sheep in the distance? It
doesn't get better than that!) |
 |
| Another view from our hotel |
 |
| View from the Isle of Skye |
 |
| View from a ferry as we returned from the Isle of Skye |
 |
| The Clan Donald Skye Estate |
 |
We caught a glimpse of the infamous Jacobite Steam Train that runs an
84 mile round trip. |
 |
| Eilean Donan Castle: This is one of the many beautiful castles we saw. |
 |
We stopped in a small town called Carrbridge...Can you imagine living here and walking by this bridge everyday?
|
As we drove through parts of the Highlands we saw hikers walking along the West Highland Way. Most people take about seven days to walk it. It sounds like quite an adventure.
I couldn't get over how beautiful and serene the Highlands were...just miles of green, hills, mountains, farm, sheeps and cows. What a different way of life these people have compared to the quick paced life many of us have in North America. Yes Scotland, I will be back : ) Have I convinced you to go?
