Hi everyone, Just a brief update on our journeys over the last week and a half. From Orkney we ventured south to the 12th century ruins of Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness, which was amazing. From there we ventured along the very scenic route to the Isle of Skye, passing Eilean Donan Castle, a fully furnished private abode that has been owned by the family for 700 years! After a brief stopover in Edinburgh, we said goodbye to Scotland after almost 5 months and headed south to ...
