A Last Bit of Scotland

Since I am so woefully behind, as is happening all too often, this is more of a summary. Yeah, I suck.

We really, really enjoyed our time in Scotland – and we spent way too much money doing a lot of fun things! All experiences we are glad we got to have though.

Inverness Castle. It looked best at night – it’s a Victorian era idea of what a medieval castle should look like.

Inverness Cathedral. Very pretty at night!

Scotland, especially the Highlands, does drama skies like no one else!

Leakey’s Used Books store in Inverness. Second most impressive book store I have ever seen (Powell’s in Portland still reigns supreme).

Welcome to McDonald’s if your Gaelic (said like Gawlic in Scotland) is rusty

Bridge over the Firth of Moray. This was not built until about 20 years ago – this photo is near where the ferry left from.

The Jacobite Steam Train, better know as the Hogwart’s Express💥

Approaching the very famous Glenfinnan Viaduct on the train. There were tons of people down below waiting to see the train go over the viaduct – so much fun! One thing about a coal fired steam train that I had not considered…the coal dust! It coated everything including us.

Our favorite walk was through the Ness Islands

The farthest point of the islands in the River Ness

A clever artist turned a fallen tree into Nessie 💞

A just in case there was any doubt – yes, we did go to Loch Ness

We very much enjoyed our time in Inverness – it quickly felt homey. It is definitely a place we want to return to!
