Around the countryside
Although I've only been able to travel to a few areas of Scotland so far, I have seen some amazing natural beauty. From the far off hills visible from my kitchen window to the mountains surrounding Inverness, I have no words to describe just how gorgeous this country really is and I look forward to visiting the Highlands.
