Isle of Skye, Highlands, Scotland

If there is a place in this world for everyone, I have found mine. 
I have done a decent amount of traveling and the Isle of Skye was possibly the most beautiful place I've ever been.The landscape and views are just amazing.

Portree Horbor

The main town of Skye, Portree, is a good place to use as base. There are few hotels and many B&Bs. I stayed at The Isles Inn and I highly recommend it. The pub downstairs is the best and most popular in town, and their restaurant is great too.

I have done The Old Man of Storr is one of the most popular scenic spots to visit in Skye. Is roughly a 3-hours walk, the views change from forest to mountain, and once you look back you see a beautiful view of the sea. Definitely a must-see in Skye.

I think Skye is a very romantic place. The history, the legends, the scenery, the weather, and the music combine to produce something very special. 

Dunvegan Castle

The scenery there is both beautiful and remote. There is so little evidence of human habitation in vast area of mountains and coast line. 

 There is a dream I have. One day I will go back and live there.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh is one of the world’s most visually dramatic and vibrant cities.

From the charming cobbled streets of the Old Town to the beautiful Georgian avenues of the New Town, Edinburgh is a city of contrasts blending shopping, historic attractions, gardens and plenty of restaurants and cafes where you can relax.

Yummy flavored Haggis...mmmm

My favorite attractions were:

 1.The Scottish National Gallery.

The Gallery houses the national collection of fine art from the early Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century. Spend an hour strolling around this peaceful setting and you’ll find masterpieces from Raphael, El Greco, Velázquez and Rubens to Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Degas and Gauguin.

2. The Old Town.

Edinburgh's oldest neighborhood, dating back to medieval times: these small streets are lined with wool shops, pubs and historical monuments.

The Tartan Weaving Mill was a great experience! You can feel and touch the threads that are prepared for weaving - see and hear the history of Highland dress through the ages.

The University of Edinburgh - George Square campus consists of a mix of old and new buildings, and are working together beautifully.
