The land of lochs and glens .....

Scotland is a great country to visit, endless lochs, magnificent glens, historic castles, rugged coastlines -- add to that the friendliness and helpfulness of the local people and you have an excellent destination to explore -- but you really need a car to see the best of Scotland....

Travelling by road is easy although in the highlands many roads are single-lane so your journey may take longer than expected -- plus there is a tendency to stop every few minutes to admire the scenery and take yet another photograph !

I don't think my photos do justice to the fantastic views that you see there but at least I hope they give you an idea of what bonny Scotland has to offer.

Good information on Scotland and beautiful pictures. As we plan to participate to the VT meeting in Glasgow and Edinburgh in September, it certainly is useful. Thanks, RaHeNi
