Standing Tall

The Glenfinnan Monument of anonymous Scottish highlander stands tall in midst of the mountains and lochs. It is located just opposite the National Trust Visitor center in Glenfinnan. The view on the other side view of the visitor center is that of via duct which is filmed in Harry Potter movies.

Old Man of Storr

The coastal loop around Isle of Skye took us more than expected time. We had planned for short hike at Old Man of Storr, however we had to skip it due to time. The was the one clear view of the pinnacle we got on our route.

Solitude

Same location as previous picture. Looking back on the trail the image is of peaceful green landscape with mountain lakes. Just 15-20mins ago I was in a crowd and now I was all alone without a soul in view for miles.

Morning Calm

Early morning drive to Elgol. The calm Loch Slapin reflected colors of the dawn.

Mountains, Stream, Meadows, Sea

A surprise bend as we started our day tour around the Isle of Skye. At this bend we encountered a big waterfall which was folked by  number of tourist buses and cars.

Sea Cliffs

View to the left from the previous picture. Seems you are standing on the pulpit, bouquets in front and empty space as your audience.

Dream Homes

Dream homes - Isle of Skye. The coastal drive on A87 was very scenic. Fortunately we were blessed with very nice weather. These bungalows were sea facing and in midst of scenic beauty.

You are Invited

It was quite late when we started from Woking for our Scotland road trip - about 6:30pm and we reached Abbington for our night halt by about 1:30am. The next morning as we came out for breakfast, it was then we noticed that the views from the hotel were quite nice even when it was just by the motorway.

Misty Cauldron

We did a 4 day road trip to North Scotland spending about a day at Isle of Skye. The landscapes as we approached Glencoe on A82 were very scenic. We did not get clear sky, but had clouds accompany and fortunately no rain. I guess, the preservation of the clear mountain summit views by clouds gives a different mystery to the landscape.
