I have to say it has always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl to see Scotland. I can tell you that it was not a disappointment. We left at 9am on a Monday for 5 days. The further north we went the more amazed I was. Around ever single corner was something more beautiful to see. Scotland is one place I hope to return to.
The first stop was a place called Moffat. A lovely little town to rest.
We had stopped a number of times along the way. Every corner led to the most beautiful scenery I had ever laid eyes on. We stopped in a village store with lots of souveniers. I bought a real Scottish kilt with beige and brown plaid and a beige sweater. At this village was a flag. To my amazement look what I saw. Our hotel was located on the coast across from the Isle of Skye in a village called Mallaig.
And this is the harbor at Mallaig. It is terrific.
Welcome to Fort William
Fort William was a beautiful little town.
While there we had a day to choose what we wanted to do. My daughter wanted to go on a water adventure to see dolphins which we decided against as the weather wasn't all that good that day. Instead we went on a train ride to Fort William and spent more time there.
While in Fort William, guess what we found. You guess it another McDonald's.
On to Glencoe
The day we visited Glencoe it was foggy and drizzly. Not a nice day to see such beautiful mountains.
At Last - The Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is across from Mallaig so we had to take the tour bus across on a ferry.
More American things found in Scotland???? Yep. A Bridge. The American Bridge. The driver told us of an interesting story about the bridge. The builders of this bridge were American. As most know, our measures are not metric as they are here. When they built the bridge they used our measure and the bridge wasn't the right height for their vessels. The bridge had to be ammended to that.
