Scotland (part three)


Our next day of our Scotland journey consisted of more driving.  This however was probably the most beautiful drive I have ever been on in my life!  Lush greenery, mountains, lakes, and more.

Our main motivation of this daily trek was to go see the Glenfinnan Viaduct; which is best known for being the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter movies.  If it weren't raining, and I had better footwear, we could've hiked much closer to the bridge, but it was still magical nonetheless.  

Other high points were visiting the village of Glencoe which has been a movie set location for a variety of movies, such as, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban;

and seeing the stunning Stirling Castle, which is one of Scotland largest and most important castles!



(Also, we came across a little village that was hosting the World Highland Games.  Sadly, we just missed it).
