According to my husband, road trip is the best way to see a country. In this case, gloomy Scotland.
“The gladdest moment in human life, me thinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” – Sir Richard Burton
We knew nothing of Scotland. Now we do.
And we are glad that we have discovered more of Scotland from a road trip. Let me walk you through some of the amazing views we captured, albeit sombre but like my friend was saying, we had a taste of the true Scottish weather- rain and rain and prevailing wind. The Road was typically forlorn. I think we were lucky. In a way.
I'll let the pictures speak...

Pulled over at the roadside of A84, towards Tydrum.
I imagined Harry's Hogwart Express soon to pass by the bridge. |

| This was taken in between Tyndrum and Onich. |

| Whilst this was from between Onich and Dornie. |
Isle of Skye was a tab more beautiful, dull-coloured still and cold. Very cold, as if the Isle was unwelcoming us, rejecting us.
But it didn't harm my semi-recovering airway and lungs. I cough lesser, I sneeze normally. I just needed to wrap more. Prior to the trip I was attacked by Influenza, lungs were infected.
“Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere. We’ll stop in every small town and learn the history, feel the ground and capture the spirit. Then we’ll turn it into our own story that will live inside our history to carry with us always. Because stories are more important than things.” - Victoria Erickson
My husband who loves road trips, is responsible to all these beautiful pictures here... well, except two.

| Somewhere in Skye. |

| Skye Bridge |
 |
| After Skye Bridge, we were at A87. |
 |
| Weather was getting slightly better. |

| On A82 heading towards Inverness. Loch Ness on the right |
well... you're right! The pictures speak for themselves...
ReplyDeleteYou've been a little luckier, because when we went to Skye it was rainning so much, we almost couldn't leave the car!! Anyway, a beautiful place!!!
Yes, such a beautiful place! Glad that I picked Skye;).
DeleteBeautiful photos. My husband love road trip too, well I will enjoy too without kids that is. Lol.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. The pictures are what I imagined them to be after reading English literature (although not set in Scotland, I guess the rolling hills will be similar, although some will beg to differ!)
ReplyDeleteI do not know a lot about Scotland but I have seen so many photos lately that i feel like going. You photos show how beautiful is this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteNice pics! Pictures like these remind me of how much I love road trips too! I agree with your husband that road trips are the best way to explore a country. And I think you're lucky enough, the weather didn't look THAT bad when you were there..
