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

Breathtakingly beautiful. My ancestors lame from a beautiful country.

I’m Scotish/Irish so it’s great fun posting a few images of Scotland!

Pretty home you have there.

How does that cyclist Mccaskil keep his tires from getting cut to shreds on that incredible ride he took? And what skill and guts!

The words of "The Road to the Isles" started up in my mind as I viewed the great picture studies. One, of Rannock Moor brought me back to 1954. I was a youth hosteller up from London Town. I was told at Kinloch Rannoch station, no train for four hours to Fort William.

I asked the station master if the path starting at the moor would take me to Glencoe. It was about twelve miles. I started walking and he said "I hope ye know what ye are doing". After ten miles with absolutely no dwellings, but the streams and the croaking of frogs, I lost it. Became disoriented.

Not the website to go on the subject, but the memory still vivid. I later learned that in 1907, four Irish lads working on a great hydro project, had walked the same route. There was no tavern at Kinloch Rannock and with their pay went to Glencoe to drink. At the area where I almost lost it, on their return, a storm blew up. They died.

This was on the eastern side of Rannoch, not where the Glencoe massacre took place. I finally saw a lodge and a path to the highway.

If you haven't seen Disney Pixar's "Brave", it's got some fairly beautiful renderings of Scotland.

The Brave team based Castle DunBroch on real-life castles in Scotland.

Aye, Scotland is beautiful, looks very similar to Alaska, though much smaller. Multiply Scotland times a hundred, and you’ve got Alaska.
