We did an all-day bus tour of the Scottish Highlands. Our bus driver was Scottish, of course, and had a really good sense of humour. He was fun to listen to, which was good because our tour was about 12 hours long! The Highlands were really impressive. I thought Ireland was green, but I think Scotland has one up on them. I'm used to big, rocky mountains from the time I spent in Utah, but it was really cool to see how high up the green went on these. We also visited Urquhart Castle and did a little boat cruise on Loch Ness. It did get pretty rainy, but that was just part of the experience.

| The Highlands - Some of these were taken from the bus, but you get the idea. |

| Tough to see through the clouds, but that's Ben Nevis in the background, the tallest mountain in the British Isles. |
 |
| We didn't let the rain rain on our day. |

| There's something magical about castle ruins grown over with plants and flowers. |

| We braved the weather on the top deck to get a better view of the loch. |
 |
| The loch was huge, and it gets over 750 feet deep! |

| The wake of the boat is foreshadowing our trip to Lake Tahoe in August! |
