Amazing Pictures!

I watched the video of a bicyclist riding the ridge of Skye that was linked in one of the photos. Some people have no fear.

That too. I did landscape painting while in college in the early 80s. Later I became a geology major.

“Why in the world did my family leave such a beautiful country?”

My guess is that it would involve Cromwell, the English Civil War, and probably Ireland. Which is the case with a lot of us with Scots-Irish ancestry.

Likely that’s the most famous picture and analysis in geology. Good post.

Fans of Scotland might want to check out the Outlander TV Series on Startz.

It's set in the Highlands and explores the Jacobite rebellion in the 1740's. However, it's violent and the interaction between the two leads sometimes gets quite steamy.

Ah, reminds me of the book I so loved as a teen - romantic suspense on the Isle of Skye.
