"Scotland" Scotland by tini58de

Scotland Travel Guide: 14,126 reviews and 25,725 photos

It was more or less accidentally that I got to visit Scotland:

I had booked a fantastic tour to the Arctic which started in Aberdeen. I then decided to fly there 3 days earlier to visit a friend and have a look around -
which I did!

Sheila showed us around "a little" - and I had the feeling that she managed to show us all of Scotland in those three days! Well, maybe not ALL of Scotland, but definitely quite a bit!

One thing is for sure: I will have to return, because this part of the world sure is beautiful...

Tini, lovely updates on your fabulous Scotland page. I have already heard a lot about Pennan, but never really made it there, although I was twice in Scotland.

Scotland is indeed so beautiful - the landscape and ... the whisky Lochnagar Distillery near Balmoral Castle, a guided tour and tasting? Cheers, no ice, no coke - simply pure
