As we continued towards Glencoe, we passed through some really amazing scenery. The bodies of water are called Lochs here in Scotland, whereas we might call them lakes or rivers. We drove by a few really beautiful Lochs, where the air just felt so fresh and clean. In a matter of minutes, we could be ...
