Me on top of a fairly large rockface i decided to climb. Would have stayed longer but time wasnt on our side. Took home some Highland stones to remind me of this place.

Well id heard alot about the Highlands before I came to Scotland. Everyone insisted it was very much worthwhile, and really beautiful to see. I believed them, but I was still taken away by how cool the Highlands beyond Glencoe were. The road weaved in and out of a valley, with towering mountains on either side. the valley was full of streams, and scattered with stones and marshlands. A cool wind whipped throughout, and there was a really old, somewhat unsettling feel about the area, it was fantastic. A similar style feel to that of Stonehenge. Amidst the rain and winds, took a slight hike around. Felt like I could have stayed there for hours!

A shot of the Scottish highlands just past Glencoe. A horrifically unjust massacre occured here about 500 years ago. Many women and children were slaughtered by Highlanders, after they had been taken into their care.

Another random Highlands shot. As I say, you could just explore this area for hours.. hiking. You get the feeling you could find places noone has ever seen before.
