Ooooh! Cool Pic!
Scotland, the Scottish highlands, old ruined castles, ale, pubs, kilts, stout, pubs, ale, ... some hard cider, and SCOTCH WISKEY! Ah, man, that was quite the trip. Couch surfing with guys going to college out there, lots of foreign exchange students ... an odd language barrier, ... good times, good times. From what I can recall. I bought a digital camera just for that trip, and I think I even remembered to take about 2 worthless photos. The food was sketchy as hell, but the booze ... ah, that was fun.
It was a lot like Ireland, except for the sober reality based parts.
I envy you, man.

(first!)

I had to go checking, because that is not the "usual" view of that castle - and I was right!!!

The best picture I ever took was of that castle. My sis and I were staying at the B&B across the way, and it was sunset. We were just settling into our room after driving all day, when the owner of the B&B was out in the car park, yelling at the top of his lungs
"GET YOUR CAMERAS!! GET YOUR CAMERAS!!!!!"

It had been a dark and dreary day, but at that instant, the sun was setting in the sky, and had lowered itself below the cloud cover, between two mountains, and illuminated the castle with this gorgeous orange glow. The picture came out wonderfully!!!

I've made copies of that photo, and given it as gifts!

Beautiful, beautiful country.
