A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland. My friend had wanted to do the North Coast 500 road trip; and being that she had never been to Scotland outside of Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure we hit up some of the highlights of my beautiful… Continue reading Glencoe Hikes, Glenfinnan Bridges & Scottish Castles

2019: My Year In Review

Scotland Road Trip Day 3: Glencoe to Loch Ness Via The Hogwarts Express
Alright, I'm seriously lagging behind on these Scotland road trip posts, aren't I?!
