Scotland

Monique and I flew to Edinburgh, Scotland a couple weeks ago. We left late in the afternoon and arrived early the next morning. We shouldered our backpacks and spent a few hours exploring the town. Then we caught a train that headed north for five hours to a town called Fort William.

The next day was spent resting and exploring Fort William, and then the next five were spent walking 75 miles to Inverness. We followed a path called The Great Glen Way, a public footpath that generally follows the Caledonian Canal, going along Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness.

The first day we got a picture of the steam train that was filmed as the Hogwarts Express in Harry Potter (1st picture). The other pictures were taken along the trail - the last picture taken at the trail end in Inverness.

After spending a night in Inverness we took another 5 hour train back to Edinburgh and flew home the next morning.

As you can tell from the photos, this was an epic trip - one of the best ever!
