Isle of Skye photos do not lie, landscapes felt otherworldly, but summer crowds and rain made timing tricky.
Toidumaastik ületas ootusi, hämmastavad mereannid ja pagaritöökojad. Ära jäta vahele korralikku täielikku šoti hommikusööki ja kohalikke pirukaid.
Translated from English ·
Felt pricey compared to my expectations, train fares add up quick and some attractions lean on the expensive side.
Stunning Highlands but bring wet weather gear, roads are slow, you'll want more time than a weekend if you like hiking.
Mulle meeldis Edinburghi õhkkond, augustis liiga palju turistigruppe, mine Arthur's Seatile varakult rahu ja hea vaate jaoks.
