Usually I like to keep my impressions post short and sweet. Okay, maybe not always. But when it comes to Scotland I am always going overboard. Scotland is one of my favorite countries to visit after all. You might have noticed that already, since I am coming back to it year after year. And still I haven’t seen it all and I am eager to explore another corner. Even revisiting places is fun.
There is so much history in connected to the country, and don’t let me get started on its nature. Just park the car anywhere and go for a hike. Scotland will always take your breath away. So the trip to the southwest corner was not different. After a short visit to the Isle of Arran, a drive around Kintyre, and a hop over to the Isles of Mull and Iona, we finished our road trip with a visit of Dunstaffnage Castle. What can I say, it was another amazing stay in Scotland and I can’t wait to go back next year. Yours, Pollybert
