Scottish Highlands (Day 5)

Today we started off bright an early for our tour to the Scottish Highlands!

We boarded the bus with our amazing tour guide Brian, then stopped at a cute farm store for coffee and breakfast where you can sit and watch the sheep!

Then we took a GORGEOUS drive through the hills/mountains, valleys, rivers, and lakes of Scotland with lots of picture stops along the way. Brian made learning about all the scottish history very fun. Outlander fans were in heaven (@mom you would’ve loved it! We also stopped for lunch at a mountain base camp which was fun.

Then we arrived at our destination - Loch Ness! We lucked out with gorgeous weather for a beautiful sunset boat tour across Loch Ness, and learned about the legends of Nessie (the Loch Ness Monster). Per our tour guide’s recommendation, we got whiskey hot chocolates on the boat and chatted with some of the friends we met along the way.

After driving back to Edinburgh, we grabbed dinner at the local Scottish pub next to our hotel, and now are settling in to watch Harry Potter after our long tour! Such an amazing day :)Read more
