Tell me what you see. Flocks of sheep? Granite peaks and dotted moors? Lots of green in every view? Rugged coastlines and amazing golf courses? Pleasant, smiling folks with burry accents? It must be the astounding Scotland!
It’s small enough that you can loop around the whole country in about a week, although the open spaces, the mountains, glens, lochs and pints of Guinness are of mythic proportions. Scotland is all about scenery and history. The main roads can get quite crowded in high season, but some of the area’s most attractive features can be found only on the secondary roads. Castle ruins, waterfalls plunging into the ocean, strips of deserted white sandy beach, gigantic cliffs cloaked in purple heather, deep dark lochs, mist-covered green craggy peaks, and sheep and more sheep – it seems that every road turn might unveil a new scene of wonder.
However, the real revelation was the people. The Scots are without doubt some of the friendliest and most gracious people I’ve ever encountered.
