Ahhh, Scotland.
If I had to narrow my time in Scotland down to ten images or less, this is what that would probably look like. But that would be a nigh on impossible task, and, luckily, I don't have to narrow it down! I have *just a few* more images to spam you with. In the meantime, here are a few of my favourites.
Everyone that travels to Scotland, I've discovered, has a completely different holiday. Sometimes even than the folks they're traveling with! Scotland will capture your heart in ways you didn't expect - like the absolute delight with which I welcomed the very few misty, moody, chilly days we experienced. And the way I relished switching out the ol' flip-flops and shorts to pull on a warm, knit sweater and jeans. I'm told we were lucky to have experienced such mild, sunny days while we were there, but I felt like I was missing a true Scottish experience without the wind and the rain and the chill.
I'm glad we didn't follow the whole "tourist track" that tells you all the "must sees" and "must dos" while you're there (although we made sure to include a few, as you'll note) but instead we let a random photo or sentence we'd seen or read capture our imagination and away we went in that direction (even when it ended up taking us to some puzzlingly expensive, but lovely lodgings) - but the journey alone was worth it - with single track roads for miles and miles through the jaw-droppingly scenic Highlands, and stops along the way to make friends with sheep, and highland coos, and the like (or even a stop at the World Famous Shark Toilet inside the Golden Larches Cafe near Strathyre!)
Anyways. Here's a few to start you off with and I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me! Pour yourself a cuppa and find yourself some shortbread biscuits, and enjoy!
