Featured Had My Trip To Scotland

Sounds like you had a great trip Joe - thanks for sharing the pictures......

 

Brilliant Joe, glad you had a good time and enjoyed your trip, thanks for sharing the pic's

 

Glad you enjoyed it Joe
Pictures are great

 

So glad you had a wonderful trip filled with beauty, adventures, and warm welcome from local folks. I'm also glad you're back home safe and sound now, too. I'll be looking forward to seeing more photos and hearing stories of our travels. Thanks for sharing!! Mr. Sandi and I may need to add Scotland to our (long) motorcycle trip bucket list.

 

So glad you had great time on your long anticipated trip, Joe.
Lovely photos!

 

It is - Eilean Donan Castle.

 

Great pictures Joe

Glad you enjoyed the trip mate

 

Nice one, Joe. Seems that there were more than a few forum members there last weeke enjoying the great beauty and hospitality that Scotland offers! Guess I should add a couple of pictures of our walking holiday?

 

Nice one. I love going back to Scotland, if only I could get better weather and less midges it would be perfect.
It looks like you got stuck in a loop between Eilean Donan and the old man of Storr though.

 

joe...where was the cottage you stayed at it sounds great?

 

Great pics, Joe.

 

Great pictures @joe mc donald , I'm so pleased you got your trip of the ground. Looks like you had a great time.

 

Wow! I can't begin to imagine the labor that went into building all those structures without modern equipment. It's amazing.

 

Glad you enjoyed yourself Joe.

 

The only times I've bin to Scotland, is to t'naval bases. Faslane for a few hours, and Rosyth a couple o times, so not seen much of it. The more I see photo's and stories like this, the more I want to visit, especially on mi bike.

 

If you can make the time, go! Especially the West Highlands are awe inspiring...

 

I'll second that. Pretty much anywhere north of the central belt is spectacularly beautiful, but I don't dismiss or ignore the softer, quiet beauty of the Borders country.

I'm just back from walking the West Highland Way - well, walking part of it whilst the wife and dog did the whole length - and being "IN" that scenery adds a whole, different dimension to just seeing it. We're talking now about going back to walk the WHW with the wife's sister and her husband; and maybe adding on the Great Glen Way!

Don't just "want" to do it Foxy - do it! It won't be easy to organise when you have the boy but it WILL be worth the effort. Guaranteed. (Wish the weather was .........)

 

I agree on "being in it" adding a different dimension. I did a lot of rough walking in the hills surrounding Arisaig, Morar and the hills along The Road to the Isles. Particularly in winter, when the hills are snowy, the scenery up there is just breathtaking. On one occasion we happened upon a herd of over a hundred red deer - stunning.

 

I'd love to do some of the "rough walking/wild camping" that Scotland provides so much opportunity and amenity to do, but realistically I'm of an age that doesn't really appreciate the strictures involved!

I hope you have some pictures of those times, Wim?

 

I'd have to have a dig through the archives, Adie - but I'm afraid those images left with the former wife...
