Going through Glasgow, Oban, Edinburgh, Culloden, Rosslyn, Glen Coe, Stirling, Pitlochry, Loch Ness, Inveraray, Moulin, Inverness, Loch Lomond, Mallaig, Glenfinnan, Markinch, Menstrie, Auchtermuchty and all the way up to Isle of Skye.

  • The hills are alive with the sound of bagpipes

    The popular but boring postcard view of Edinburgh with the Dugald Stewart Monument. The most interesting part was the shortcut on the way down.

    Some sports are more odd than others. One can't help but wonder who first came up with the idea of throwing a large log?

  • Here but no further

    Staffin was named by the Vikings and means something like "place of upright pillars". A fairly good name, considering that these basaltic pillared rocks were their first sight.

    This monument stands on a hilltop outside the town of Stirling. This was the site where William Wallace observed the arrival of the English army before the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

    Another famous location from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This is where John Cleese insulted King Arthur in French accent and later goes on a killing spree at a wedding.

  • The armadillo

    This place was built in 1997 and reminds me of the Sydney Opera House.

    Beautiful hills, lots of bends and no traffic.
