Scottish Highlands.
In October 2025 my brother Steve and his wife Karen visited Scotland, touring the Highlands and also visiting Glasgow and Edinburgh.
“We found Scotland a very pretty country and the people were very kind. The biggest drawback was that there were so many tour groups as well as individual tourists. As we headed into the highlands a big storm, Amy, blew in, making a lot of our outdoor activities uncomfortable. Our tour leader did a good job but you can't change the weather!”
Despite the raindrops, Steve and Karen managed to take a lot of terrific photos. They have graciously shared a selection of them with The Intrepid Tourist. (This is Part 2 of their report.)
