I found the real Scotland I was looking for today... you know, the scenery out of Braveheart... yes, I got to see some of that today and it was amazing. Ashley and I took a guided bus tour up into the West Highlands, out to the town of Oban (on the west coast of Scotland) and then back through the Loch Lomond National Park. Although we did spend a significant time in the bus, it was well worth it. We drove through all the cute little towns nestled in between green hills covered in heather and ferns. It was gorgeous. I frantically scribbled down names of towns I thought would be fun to explore someday. We pasted tons of B+B's, that definitely seems the way to go when visiting up in the highlands... and, Travis will be excited to know that I saw lots of fly fishing, in the rivers and lochs, and thought of how fun it would be to vacation in one of those fishing/hiking towns in the highlands. Anyway, the tour was great, but it just made me want to see more and spend some good time exploring more of the Northern Highlands.
Another highlight of the tour: Ashley and I saw a wedding party in this tiny town on Loch Lomond called Luss. It was a perfect little Scottish village, complete with church at the center and beautiful rose gardens in front of every tiny house. We felt like we were in a story book, it was truly fantasy wedding. The bride and groom walked down the little streets of Luss with their family and friends... it was beautiful. We felt that out Highlands tour was complete.
I'm going to post some more pictures up, so have fun scrolling down through all the new ones. Miss you all! Love, Giselle
