My trek from Ireland to Scotland was way better than expected.The plan was to take a bus, then a ferry, then another but. I was happily surprised that the ferry was awesome. It had everything; a cinema, bar, and even a spa. My favourite part was the WiFi and I took major advantage for it.
I had an absolutely incredible time on the Haggis Adventure. Thanks Dawn Robinson for the recommendation. The scenery was break taking and I got to spend time with a great group of people. I find it amazing how much fun you can have with people you literally just met. We had great tours guides which made it even better. I gained so much knowledge but sadly enough I have a horrible memory and have already forgotten most of it
The trip started out from Edinburgh and headed into the Highlands. The feeling of being in the highland is like no other, I love the Highlands. It is incredibly beautiful as well as having the sense of being untouched and remote. I am not sure I could live their but I know it would be an amazing place to go to relax and think. I need a vacation home there. We stayed both nights in Fort Augustus. This is located right on Loch Ness. We spent an amazing day on the Isle of Skye. This small island was very rugged, but had small towns throughout. We spent lots of time on the tour hiking which was amazing. The feeling after climbing and seeing the view is incredible, even if I was a little out of breath when I got there. At one pint I could not resist and rolled down part of a major hill. It may not have been the best idea since it was muddy and their was likely sheep droppings along the way (did I say I was also wearing white). Either way you only live once and it was tons of fun!!!
No trip can be complete to Scotland without a trip to see Loch Ness. We did the Nessy Hacker, no luck encouraged Nessy out but we had a create time making fools of out self dancing on the shore of Loch Ness.
The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation in 1745 of the Jacobite (highlanders) Rising.We went to the battle field of the Battle of Culloden. The conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil, occurring near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
