The Highlands were amazing. I ended up jumping into a tour because the weather report wasn’t looking good. This ended up being very smart because it rained, snowed, hailed, and sleeted for pretty much the entire week. Not to mention, the winds were usually blowing fast enough to watch the clouds fly by like airplanes. I’m sure I would have enjoyed hitching much more overall, but I was thankful to be in shelters when the hail was pelting. I chose Wild in Scotland and can’t say enough about them. The tour isn’t a boozefest like others. You do have plenty of fun with the group, but it’s much more about the beauty and history of the country. There weren’t really any amazing stories that warrant telling. I mean, I stayed in a castle for two nights and toured a whiskey distillery, but that’s just basic stuff. Oh, yea… I totally stayed in a castle, jealous? Other than that, it was a lot of scenery and beauty with a few people that I got to know along the way. And I totally found out Braveheart is bullshit!! God damn you Mel Gibson… Long live Robert the Bruce! Oh, actually, my brother might appreciate this the most. While touring, I saw the Doune Castle. You may recognize it from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It wasn’t as cool as the Eilean Donan Castle from Highlander, but it still holds a place in my heart. The highlight of the trip was the Isle of Skye. Utterly beautiful and a must see... Rather than describe everything, here are the pictures...
