Scotland
one of those great places that brings to mind scenic landscapes, castles and
the Loch Ness Monster. For others it
brings to mind golf, heather, log sports that aren't quite right and kilts. It is by far one of my favorite places to
visit. The landscape is greatly
contrasting with it's rural areas, craggy highlands and large crowded cities.
The temperatures in Scotland
require a coat pretty much year round.
62° as a high and 32° as a low through out the year. It rains about half the time. Be sure to bring your umbrella as well.
There is so much to see in the small 30,000 sq miles. So take in as much as you can. The few highlights that I have enjoyed. Start with Edinburgh.
Edinburgh
is the capital and the political center of the country. The Edinburgh Castle
overlooks the city sitting atop a rock.
The area it stands on has been inhabited by someone since the 9th
century. It has been home to royalty
including Mary Queen of Scots. The
view from the Half Moon Battery and the Argyle Battery are breath taking as a
brisk breeze reminds you of the North Sea close by.
I'm struggling to find all my pics so bear with me as I add more to this!
