Glad to bring a smile to you ... I tend to follow people who say nice things, so have followed you! Have a great day and Namaste!
PS I am partly Scottish so I am delighted that you enjoyed your trip.
If you ever go again, I can give you some tips - I saw a Golden Eagle, otters and so much more up the west coast and an orca in one of the Skye inlets.
Oh that's so awesome! Yes, I will definitely be visiting Scotland again, as I fell in love with its beautiful nature. There's also the fact that my boyfriend has never been there and he has to see it atleast once in his life.
Thank you for your nice comment! I'm following you aswell :-)
My family are from Fife - north of Edinburgh, across the Firth of Forth. The second best drive in the world (my experience) is from Glasgow, round Loch Leven to Oban, then through Auchterrader and head to the Kyle of Lochalsh which is the gateway to Skye - there is now a bridge across further north.
Skye is beautiful and that is where (aged about 7) my father took my two brothers and I to see seals in a clinker dinghy. On the way back we actually saw two orcas on their way in for lunch!
Then head due north to Cape Wrath - it is absolutely off the tourist trail but is absolutely stunning. There is an outward bound centre which was run by an exSAS man called John Ridgway. His daughter runs it now, I think. This is where you see the wildlife (I saw a Golden Eagle and otters galore) - the fresh water runs off the hills and sits on top of the sea water creating a unique eco-system when weather permits.
If you go to Skye, take the ferry across to Raasay - outstanding, and if you have a car, pay the extra. There is an outward bound lodge which you can see from the ferry stage. So so wonderful! You are stepping back 50 years minimum.
I could carry on for ever.
By the way, the best drive in the world is from Lorne back to Melbourne at 6am - then you are truly in God's country!!
Mi Casa Su Casa!
Ah, another country I must visit huh!
Thank you so much for these recommendations. I have this file in which I keep all my to visit ideas, so I'm copy/pasting this :D
