Scotland!

I can’t come up with a clever title for this post. Perhaps because words, or even pictures for that matter, couldn’t possibly do this country justice. 

One of my most anticipated days was our trip up to the highlands. And it did not disappoint. A day of beautiful scenery, adorable villages, and of course more castles than I could keep track of.

The site we booked our drive with said they let Scotland be the star and it absolutely was. 

We also got to swing by Stirling castle at the end of our day. Its facade was impressive from the valley and its history colorful and engrossing, at least for a history nerd like me. It also is the site of the church that the King James Bible was transcribed, which, given its significance and impact, was a humbling place to stand. The graveyard on the grounds was vast and intense. My sister and I got carried away running through the twists and turns and exploring every hill and corner.

I’m still absorbing it all but needless to say we are having a fabulous time!
