Edinburgh to Fort William

Started the day with a tour through Mary Kings Close. This is a whole street that after the plague, they removed the top stories but the whole 3 bottom levels were just built on top of. Mary Queen of Scots stayed there the night before her execution at 24yrs old. And there’s a ghost of a young girl that I think you can see in the prohibited photo I took!
Next stop was Glasgow and we found some amazing vintage markets- apparently the biggest in Europe- very cool.
Then we stopped at the Falkirk Wheel - an amazing feat of engineering and cut out travelling through 10 lochs in the process!
A must see was the Kelpies - OMG stunning! In Scottish Folklore, Kelpies are mythical creatures that appear as horses then entice humans down to a watery grave!
Next stop was late lunch(Dunch!) at Doune and then a visit to Doune Castle (featured in Outlander )- very cool
A detour took us from there around the lochs and up into the Highlands- breathtaking scenery! Deer grazing on the side of the road and majestic mountains and valleys- simply stunning! These scenery photos were taken at 10 at night!
Came into Glen Coe and then through to Fort William.
A long day but absolutely worth every secondRead more
