Scotland Series – Day 14

Scotland Series – Day 12 (Part 3)

I can’t believe how many cool things we saw in one day! Scotland is gorgeous, and it doesn’t take a very long drive to find not just beautiful, but also historic, scenery.

Scotland Series – Day 9

Time for another adventure! I’m impressed that we had the energy for all these activities – I’m exhausted just thinking about it! But I was clearly ready for an adventure in this pic!

Fiance took this photo because he thought the camera around my neck was hilarious and screamed tourist.

 

Today we set out on a trip to Skye in the Western Highlands.
