North of Scotland
First day we took a tour to Glen Nevis Falls - I could not resist the beautiful scenery, so of course I took looots of photographs, some of which I would like to share with you.
Second day we took the track to Ben Nevis summit - it was the main reason why we decided to spend our holiday in Fort William this year. We woke up early morning because the whole track takes approximately 9 hours and we didn't want to be getting back at night. The track was steep and rocky and 1000 metres above sea level it was getting quiet cold, windy, misty and I felt really challenged to reach the summit. Fortunately, the snow didn't defeated us and we conquered the summit in 4 hours (and it took us app. 2 hours to get back down to the camping site = 80 metres above sea level).
The following day we preferred more leisure walking, so we decided to check out the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, which was used as filming location for Harry Potter movies. Since the location wasn't so hard to find and walk wasn't so difficult, we still had plenty of time to take trip to see Loch Ness (MOnster:). We were lucky enough to actually catch a glance of Nessie and of course we took some photos of her; unfortunately, she prefers to be anonymous, so I respect her decision and I won't post any pictures of her. Thank you for understanding ;)
Jedburgh Abbey
On our way back home we had a chance to take a last sight of the Glencoe Mountains and after that we went to visit one more attraction, which was worth to see: Jedburgh Abbey.
I hope you enjoyed my photographs and little commentary with them. My last words for this post: VISIT SCOTLAND!

Beautiful pics, Alus! Thanks, it was a great trip :)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! Great trip, fantastic atmosphere and magnificent environment: without these ingredients I wouldn't be able to create these lovely pictures (:
ReplyDeleteExquisite pictures ! Like the colour touch of some images especially on old cars and Jetburgh Abbey. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much - I was trying to give them old-photograph-colours style. The weather in Scotland was little bit dull, so i had a need to refresh those misty colours :)
