Scotland

I love Scotland! As a stones and bones kind of girl it doesn't get much better than this. Scotland has plenty of old haunted cemeteries, castles, and a stone circle older than Stonehenge. It's a country that I can just keep going back to. 

My first few visits to Scotland were to the capital city of Edinburgh. I still remember the sense of awe I experienced pulling into Waverly Train Station, for the first time, and seeing the gothic soot covered Scott Monument. Wow! This place is so cool!

The second time I visited, I arrived by air, and I remember the guy that stamped my passport saying, "You came back for more punishment did ya?" Lol. I enjoy their sense of humor. By the way, I really miss passport stamps!!

I remember first wanting to visit Scotland, as a kid, after learning about the Loch Ness Monster. It took a while, but I finally made it to Loch Ness!

Some other reasons to love Scotland:

Bagpipes! 

The hospitality. 

Scotland's national animal is a unicorn! Hello?! Awesome!!

Harry Potter's adventures were written here. 

The 10 pound note from the Bank of Scotland has two otters on it!

There are places I visited that I still think about often. Like the Fairy Pools and the Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye or the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis. 

I hope I can get this page to keep growing with more visits!
