FINDING FREEDOM IN SCOTLAND - KELLEY ANNE
KILLER CONTENT SEGMENT
KILLER CONTENT SEGMENT
beautiful background of Scotland. Edinburgh and the highlands embody the feel of this country. Scotland is full of contradictions
and ever shifting moods. The day may start out with sunshine, but beware; rain will come at least once a day!
The city itself is filled with beautiful monuments and limestone buildings dirtied with age to create their own charm. And
that is Scotland wet and dry, dirty and clean, cold and warm, but always beautiful.
The Highlands are breathtaking! Taking a tour out there is a MUST. My rec is to go with Rabbie’s tours. I have used them
on 4 separate occasions and have never been let down. This last trip my friends and I booked two separate tours.
Below is a short recap of how I spent my time in Scotland!
Day one found me and my friends having the most incredible afternoon tea at the Signet Library. Sitting unobtrusively in
the corner of a busy square lies the library. But as you open the doors you are led an incredibly elegant experience (click
here for my post dedicated solely to afternoon tea)
Day Two found us on a tour wandering the entrance of the highlands in the rain. It was cold. It was wet. It was glorious.
All this coming from the girl that HATES the damp. But here in Scotland it was all apart of the experience. We followed
trails to century old churches; we walked in the rain in pursuit of waterfalls; we found picturesque lochs. I couldn’t keep
the smile off of my face for the whole day! We then we capped the day off with some
Dewar’s whiskey and toured the facility.
Day three took us to Edinburgh Castle where we stepped back into history
and learned of the important and imposing role this castle played
in history. Edinburgh Castle stands apart on the top of a crag with
beautiful views of the city below. We spent the day here absorbing
the history and taking in the beauty of this castle.
Day Four found us on another tour to Stirling Castle walking again in
the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots. We took a short hike (which
i sadly wheezed through) to get to a beautiful views of Loch Lemond.
We stopped and saw a terrifying monument to Scotland’s kelpies,
which is apparently the worlds biggest Equine monument. Another
great day and a wonderful close to our time at Scotland.
Scotland is special in my heart because it reminds me to embrace the wildness and
sense of adventure within me. It affirms that within wildness there is beauty. And while life has its demands and constraints
I can’t let the day to day of life “tame me.”
So if you get the chance head out to Scotland. Find a bit of freedom, be a bit wild, and find your sense of adventure!
