This is the second time in a raw we opted for a local vacation in Scotland. Even though we did not travel to faraway locations or exotic destinations, we discovered beautiful places and made friends with wonderful people we would probably not have had chance to get to know under normal circumstances. The visit to the Scottish Highlands was a magical, although wet at times, adventure which made a deep impression on us all. We experienced such warm welcome and friendly atmosphere that it was hard to leave. It did not really matter there wasn’t any monster to be seen in Loch Ness. Hearing the accounts of the monster sightings by almost everyone we met was as good as (if not better than) seeing the beast itself. There is no way the Loch Ness monster story was made up, no way! 😉
