[Closed] Scotland - It's a beautiful place.

I love Scotland, even tho the place is one massive bog. Photos from a trip to Skye, Harris, and the highlands in May.

Have always said we should go see some of Scotland - beyond 'doing' Edinburgh..
This thread just made my mind up!
Bookmarked it and sent the link to MrsMM at work 😀
Thanks All!

I didn't know that Jupiter Artlands thing existed, but will schedule a visit when it's open again. Looks great.

This afternoon, from the bike . . .

robgarrioch - i've probably posted some of them before.

@fergusd - fantastic pics 🙂

Certainly one of the most beautiful countries on earth- every time I go hillwalking there I always end up wondering why I left. Trouble is you can't eat scenery. That's why so many of us have to leave to make a living.

Or you can make a life rather than a living. That's why i stay - turned down many opportunities in a previous career but can't drag myself away.
Money doesn't mean anything when you have an abundance of natural wealth like we do.

Or you can make a life rather than a living. That's why i stay - turned down many opportunities in a previous career but can't drag myself away.
Money doesn't mean anything when you have an abundance of natural wealth like we do.

Unfortunately my mortgage company didn't take my "abundance of natural wealth" into account when assessing me when I wanted to live where I do, only my "desperate lack of real wealth".

It's nice if you have both options, but I reckon the majority only have mine. Money means everything when you have the bills to pay.

Unfortunately my mortgage company didn't take my "abundance of natural wealth" into account when assessing me when I wanted to live where I do, only my "desperate lack of real wealth".

Hence why I am renting - nicer house and less than my mortgage was, plus I am earning interest on the capital at present...'safe' in a bank or three.

And some more...
