Trip round Scotland 2010


My partner David and I's friend Matt from Bournemouth was visiting us a while back so we decided to give him a little tour around some of Scotland.

We took a drive up through the Rannoch Moor and on to a hotel just outside Fort William. We have nicknamed Rannoch Moor, Jurassic Park and whilst it was raining heavily it was still a great place to drive through.
EDIT: It was pointed out to me that the picture above is actually taken in Glencoe which is just outside the Rannoch moor.

The next day we followed the sat-nav (Bad idea) over to the Balmoral Estate (The Royal Families Scottish Holiday Home) and took a tour. The sat-nav took us straight up and over the Lecht which is a Scottish Ski resort and there was quite a bit of snow in the area. We ended up on a single track road for quite a few miles before finally coming out just down the road from Balmoral.

On the last day we took a trip down to Inveraray and visited the 19th Century jail and court house which has been turned into a museum.

It was a great few days away and I've included some links for anyone who wants to see these places for themselves.
