Scotland 2011

This was the favourite part of our trip. We liked the fact that it was so much quieter than England, although the north of England was definitely quieter than the South. The skies in this picture stayed with us for most of our 8 days in Scotland. We spent a couple of days in Edinburgh and then decided to travel north along the coast to John O'Groats. From there, we took a very quick trip to the Orkney Islands, spending a couple of hours at Stromness. The very best part of our journey was the drive along the north coast of Scotland and then revisiting the Highlands. It was there that I felt that I could walk forever. I'm perking up whenever I hear anything about Scotland on the news. It's a beautiful country with a long legacy of gifts to humanity. Let's hear it for the Scots!
