The trip was great. I did the trip with friends who never did visit Scotland before so I did visit places I been before. We visited several whisky distilleries. Skip the Dalwinnie distillery. It’s a good whiskey but had very bad tour. The tour at Glenfiddich was great, although I don’t like the whisky much. I loved the Isle of Skye and the parts around Ullapool. I didn’t like Islay much but the distilleries are great.
We did a round trip starting from Edinburgh, to Speyside, Thurso, Durness, Ullapool, Isle of Skye, Oban, Islay, Glasgow and then back to Edinburgh.
Next year I hope to vistit the Outer Hebridean.

Ik ga er vanuit dat je een heerlijke vakantie hebt gehad...al zat het weer volgens mij niet echt mee.
De kilt pin komt mij trouwens bekend voor
(Dutch for beginners  )
Het is de Liberton familie tartan en the kiltpin is inderdaad van jouw.
Het was perfect en het weer was ook goed. Gelukkig zat het slechte weer in midden en noord Engeland en hebben het droog gehad in Schotland op een paar kleine buitjes na.

I went in late January. The weather was cool, but not frigid (I wore a peacoat with a t-shirt underneath and Kelly wore a sweater with a long sleeve t underneath whenever we were outside). There weren't ANY LINES at "touirsty places" (we LOVED having no lines). The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the purple heather was brown for the winter months... other than that small fact, the scenery was BEAUTIFUL.
