More Scottish Highlands and Glasgow

The Highlands were so beautiful and I can't help but post some more pictures. I have rarely seen creation as beautiful as in the Highlands.







After a beautiful drive south, we arrived in Glasgow. Originally we were supposed to stay in Glasgow for 6 nights, but after talking with some Brits we found out that our hostel was in the worst part of Glasgow! So, rather than buying knives to carry with us, we booked 5 nights in Northern Scotland. We are so glad that we didn't spend 1 week in Glasgow! You can only do so much shopping. Never-the-less we spent one night there and enjoyed the time well enough.






On the way back to England, we visited the David Livingston Center and learned all about the famed explorer.

Clan Donald and the Isle of Skye

We spent the rest of our time in Fort William visiting the Isle of Skye (in the rain) and the castle ruin of Clan Donald. The Isle was beautiful and we only wished that we had more time to explore.

At first, we thought this was the Castle ruin and we were not happy...

More pleased when we found this...

The Scottish Highlands and Glenfinnian Monument... and Harry Potter

Breathtaking is the only way to describe the Scottish Highlands. If ever there was doubt about God, just looking at this phenomenal scenery reassures that He exists and He is good.







Situated in this beautiful valley is the Glenfinnian Monument which commemorates Bonny Prince Charlie (he lost the battle at this location). The Loch behind the Monument is also featured in the Harry Potter films, as well as a bridge close by.







By the way, it was very cold and very rainy in Scotland.

Perth, Branklyn Garden, and Yummy food

The best part of vacation? Amazing food! We definitely treat ourselves to nice restaurants when we're on vacation and in Perth we found The Bothy. We also visited a lovely garden and enjoyed the scenery of this wonderful town.

You know it's a good restaurant when you're eating underneath a decapitated deer

Falkland Castle and the Hermitage

Our favorite spot was the Scottish Highlands. What amazing creation! The woods are tropically lush yet surprisingly cold. We enjoyed visiting Falkland Castle and the Hermitage while in Perth Scotland. There were so many pictures from these two spots, but I will just share a few.
