Day 14 in the UK: Riding in the Highlands. What a day! It was one of those long days that was totally worth it. Long because we were out on tour for over 13 hours and covered over 563 km (350 miles) across Scotland. But worth it for the amazing views into through and out of the Highlands, for the awesome sights, for the fantastic train ride, and for the adorable animals!
We left Edinburgh early in the morning and went through to Pitlochry where we had our first rest stop.
Then it was on Glenfinnan where we got to see the viaduct we would be riding over on the steam train as well as the loch (lake) where there is a memorial statue for followers of the Bonnie Prince, but was also the location of the Tri-Wizard Tournament in Harry Potter.
Then, it was into Mallaig for a lunch and boarding the Jacobite Steam Train aka Hogwart's Express. It was so much fun to dress in our house scarves and take a beautiful train ride through the Highlands. Just spectacular!
Then, we were back on the bus to make our way back through the Highlands and specifically Glencoe, which is so dramatic looking.
It was a very special day! I have so many videos and photos so I'll just share a few of my favourites for now! I do have to get to bed because tomorrow is another early start for another tour back into the Highlands, this time to Loch Ness.
