Scotland, specifically Skye, was my top
priority as places to visit before I left - family connections and years of
lore demanded it. The first weekend after we
arrived I was able to scratch it off the list and it did not disappoint. We
rode the Haggis Tours bus from Edinburgh (after an overnight train) to Kyleachin just across the bridge to Skye to Loch Ness and back south. Its
beauty is wild in the Webster's sense of being untamed and, being north of
Moscow, the weather is out to get you even on good days. Between the
conditions and the sparcity of civilization, you feel like you're at the
edge of the world: the mountains seem to go on forever and when you look out
to sea you feel like nothing could be at the other side. It's proud, it's
mystical, it's storied. If you can visit, do it - and let the English see
you do it.
