The Highlands

Back in November, my parents came to visit me in Scotland. We spent some time in Edinburgh and they visited St Andrews for a day.  The real highlight, however,  of this visit was going to the Scottish Highlands. We went on a day trip that took us up and around various parts of the Highlands. Our first stop was a farm to see the beautiful hairy cows that are a staple of Scotland.

We saw picturesque landscapes and villages like Glencoe which is pictured below.

We even went up to Loch Ness. I won’t reveal whether or not we spotted the Loch Ness monster… you’ll have to go and see for yourself.

Seeing my parents and showing them Scotland was so special to me. I hadn’t been up to the Highlands before this so it was awesome to all experience that together.  Although it was months ago, I still think about this trip and week with my parents often and wanted to share it with the blog!
