Stunning ! Definitely worth a visit......sorry to say...never been to Scotland....

Stunning pictures :D

You're not trying to keep all that beauty to yourself are you Highlander? ;)

I have the most wonderful view from my living room window out to a small forest with, deer, pheasants, badgers birds of prey etc., then to the ruins of Slains Castle, across to Cruden Bay and out to the North Sea where we can watch the Shetland ferry go passed every evening.
I sometimes take it for granted, until we have a visitor that tells us what fabulous views we have and then I again realise how luck we are to live in Scotland.

We are doing up next Wednesday...can't wait to see all those horrible places 8)

I do hope that people living in Scotland look after these lovely places. Elsewhere the habits of inhabitants are not encouraging. On my recent visit to Scotland I took a bus from Edinburgh to Glasgow along the M8. I know a motorway is not a beauty spot, and habits will be different, but I don't recall travelling along any stretch of road anywhere (including Turkey) where there are greater drifts of litter along the roadside. This was especially true in the few miles after service stations where throwing your used food packaging out of the window seemed to be standard practice. Not pleasant.

The west coast of Scotland takes some beating, we first visited in 1970 and have been back numerous times over the years. I was also a "Munroe Bagger".
We were backpackers for many years and Scotland has some of the best walking in the world. To celebrate our 60th birthday we walked the west highland way. A seven day trip that has some stunning scenery including Glencoe and Rannoch Moor where even the sheep get lost there.
Another area we like missed by most is Dumfries and Galloyway with some stunning scenery.
Highlander I'm very envious of you living there. Another favorite is the The Black Isle not far from you unless my memory fails me again.

I played rugby at Rannoch many years ago donM. - bleak :)
The Black Isle is just across the water from us.

My son lives in the highlands and Shetland Isles, he also is a "Munroe Bagger". It is his favourite country in the world. Whilst out walking he came face to face with a stag and found it a marvellous experience.
Relations we stayed with near Inverness made us so welcome and the steak up there is really good as is the whisky.
As in England there does seem to be a north south divide.

The best Whisky and the best Steak in the world in Scotland. One reason I never order steak in Turkey, because when I am getting the best steak in Scotland, why would I order it in Turkey?
Also we have the best and most beautiful bridge in the world. The Forth Rail Bridge. Standing in Queensferry and just looking at the bridge always makes me shiver as it is so wonderful and we are so lucky to have it.

Surely you mean The Forth Bridge Jacqui, it has NEVER been officially known as The Forth Rail Bridge, only called so by the heathen Sassenach !! The other bridge however, is , and always has been The Forth Road bridge !! Just saying innit !!

Well as not everyone on this forum is Scottish or has visited Scotland, it's best to make it clear what I am speaking about. Personally, we always call it the Forth Bridge, but as there are two bridges and soon to be three, it is best to be sure people know which bridge I mean.

Jacqui, you and GordonA should get together like Simon and Garfunkel and sing "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" ;D

Not really, to me calling the Forth Bridge The Forth Rail Bridge is , to me at least, like calling the clock tower at Westminster, Big Ben, when it isn't !!
