Isle of Skye


My favourite. Mount Quiraing




There must be a solid reason why I keep raving about Scotland and how beautiful the place is. In my opinion, if you are planning for a visit to the UK for some countryside scenary, put Scotland as the main priority. And if there's only one place you can go for scenary, go to Isle of Skye, the island is stunningly beautiful and almost a ripped off from the movie Lord of the Rings. I remembered a friend once told me that she almost cried when she saw Scotland. And also because of what she say, I applied to do my masters at Edinburgh Uni the last time.

If you are travelling alone, there's plenty of backpackers tour that one can follow. I took a 3 day tour with Mac Backpackers around the Scottish countryside which includes the famous Loch Ness for the Nessie monster. We had a very funny Scottish tour guide which half of the time I did not understand what he said and he told us many stories and history of Scotland.









Apparently, dip your face here three times for luck
