Lovely magical Glencoe Scotland's hills are moss-covered rock - with waterfalls appearing as silver threads meandering down the hillside
	The grass of this land is so unique: vibrant green with golden, reddish and purplish hues...and all these colors shine through with every breeze
	This hill is called "The Saddle", off A87. Scotland is a hiker's paradise. Exploring this land on foot is irresistible, and once you head out you won't want to turn back!
	Aonach Dubh, one of the 3 sisters in Glencoe. Scotland's terrain is so colorful and varied...

	Aonach Mor is one of Scotland's highest peaks Gondolas take you up up up...
	Even after hopping off the gondola, you have yet to hike up a winding footpath... (bundle up because it's windy as hell!)
	Still climbing... Looks like you could just reach up and touch the clouds...
	View from the top It was a cloudy day, but such is the dramatic beauty of Scotland

	Driving along, you are dwarfed by magnificent hills... Humbling, yet comforting at the same time
	You can see the highway snaking its way through the massive hills...
	Pull over and hike some more! How can anyone resist??
	Scotland is a driver's heaven - even in the most remote areas, the roads are perfectly paved (how do they manage that??) It takes seemingly forever to get from place to place - every 5 minutes the scenery beckons you to pull over and enjoy!
	Over the rainbow After a sudden, intense downpour this most beautiful vivid rainbow appeared... I was so thrilled to be there when it happened!

	Entrance to Eileen Donan Castle, built in the early 1200's. A stone footbridge takes you over to the castle; inside are exhibits dating from the Viking era to the 19th century. (Another dramatic cloudy day - a stretch for my 100 speed film!)

	The ever-beautiful Isle of Skye deserves its own map, since there are so many scenic spots worth mentioning. Though you can explore the island in one day, you won't want to - best to stay at least one night!

	Cuillins Hills This is the natural curve of the terrain; I applied no special effects to this photo
	Cuillins Hills in the late afternoon sun
	One of the hundreds of lochs (Gaelic for 'lake') in Scotland. At times you'd think the country was more water than land!
	Mealt Waterfall at Kilt Rock on the eastern coast of Skye
	This lovely cone-shaped peak is called Glamaig, in the southern region of Skye
	Old Man of Storr (A geological formation on the eastern coast) Strange as it may sound, the energy of this area was strikingly similar to the American southwest...
	Duntulm Castle and surrounding scenery on the northern tip of Skye You can see in the distance the Outer Hebrides Islands
	Looking through a 'window' of Duntulm Castle I felt like I was peering out at the magical Isle of Avalon...
	Neist Point at the westernmost tip of Skye The picture is dark, I know, but it does capture some of the drama
	Sunset of the coast of Skye

	Entrance to Urquhart Castle, on the shores of Loch Ness
	The castle is sprawling, with walkways connecting the remaining pieces
	Another view of this ancient miniature city
	Looking out over Loch Ness No sight of Nessie! Maybe next time...
