I was so excited to go back to Scotland. Last year I spent a cold windy and snowy weekend in Edinburgh and Inverness/Highlands and became smitten. I got another 5 days this month and now I think I'm in love. What a great country. We flew into Edinburgh but immediately just headed north and popped from small village to small village. We only stayed in one "city" and it was Stirling which is basically just a big town. Everyplace else was tiny, charming and wonderful.
And what a welcome. We got to our first town, checked into the B&B and headed right to the pub. We grab our beer and some fish and chips and 4 young guys come in and start playing Scottish music just to put the icing on the cake.
What a great way to start our weekend. Lots of miles and lots of sheep-filled fields later and we realized we both had permanent grins on our faces. There's something really special about this country that is impossible to describe. You just have to experience it yourself. Get on a plane. Now.
