Scotland

What can be written about Scotland that hasn't been written already by its talented bards and those who have visited and been captivated by its charms? Scotland is indeed a feast for all of the senses...the stunning highland vistas and the allure of the shimmering lochs to please the eyes,the melodies of the bagpipes to soothe the ears, the scent of the heather on the moors and braesides to please the nose, the peaty seductiveness of the whisky and the savoury delights of the haggis to tantalize the palate and the delightful play ...

Thanks so much, Jan, for all your wonderful descriptions and photos of marvelous Scotland! I once was driven around Isle of Skye which was just lovely, and had good food there, too! Have spent time in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, with many happy memories of the Tattoo, etc!

Enjoyed the tour
Hi, I enjoyed seeing the sights through your lenses! I had to decline a trip to Scotland this year, wishing now that I could have made the journey. I loved Glencoe and the Kyle of Lochalsh - Outstanding! Reportedly my ancestors came to America from Windy Gap Scotland in the 1600's. Thanks for the shots! Marsha Ellison

Thanks Jan.....so many memories. Thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise pics.....a different slant on Scotland with those. Hhmm does having Scottish grand parents make me a Scot or shall I forever remain daft???
