Also, off the southwest coast of the Isle of Mull is the little isle of Iona , which is about 3 mile
The west coast of Scotland is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The geography is bleak, stark, wind-swept. The people are few and far between, but are wonderful. Sheep abound. The West Coast embodies Scotland in perhaps it s most distilled state. Here are some of my highlights from the West.
Aviemore, in the heart of the Cairngorn National Park , though itself is not on the West Coast, is on the road to the west coast from the Northeast of Scotland, where I grew up. Aviemore seems like a mountain senior alaskan cruises town, although at 748 feet you probably wouldn t say it s in the mountains . I ve stayed at a pretty nice camp site on the shores (sandy even, though senior alaskan cruises don t think it s warm) of nearby (15 min) Loch Morlich. Nearby are lots of hiking trails and nice views. You can also take a boat out on the Loch.
Traveling Southwest from Aviemore you find Fort William. It serves as the hub for travel north and south on the west coast. If you re coming from Glasgow or Edinburgh, Fort William serves as your gateway to the West Coast. I wouldn t spend long in Fort William as the real gems of Scotland are on the wonderful coast!
Skye is perhaps the best known of the Scottish islands. It s beautiful and there s even a bridge to drive on to the island, saving you a ferry trip. You can t miss Skye and should spend a couple senior alaskan cruises nights there, driving around, visiting villages, going on walks. As a side note, there are tons of bed and breakfasts senior alaskan cruises throughout senior alaskan cruises Scotland senior alaskan cruises and if you re looking senior alaskan cruises for a cultural experience, it would give you some close contact with the houses, lives, cuisine and personality of native senior alaskan cruises Scots.
Mull is my recommendation for an island to go to that s more off-the-beaten track. Perhaps one drawback is that you have to take a ferry to the Island, but perhaps that s also a plus it keeps out the riff-raff. When I was younger, my family senior alaskan cruises spent a week or so driving around the Isle of Mull and I have some wonderful memories of narrow senior alaskan cruises one-track roads, small towns, and a wilderness beauty that s indelible.
Also, off the southwest coast of the Isle of Mull is the little isle of Iona , which is about 3 miles in length and about half as narrow. You can take a small ferry to the isle from Mull. Iona was founded by St. Columba in exile from Scotland. Iona would be a great place to go if you wanted to get a taste of some of the rich history of Christianity in Scotland. Another island senior alaskan cruises of a similar nature is the Isle of Lindisfarne (Holy Island), off the northeast coast of Scotland.
The Mull of Kyntyre senior alaskan cruises is quite remote, and made famous by a song written by Paul McCartney . It s the southernmost tip of the Kintyre peninsula and there s a awe-inspiring lighthouse on the edge of steep cliffs descending to the Irish Sea. I visited the lighthouse on one very foggy day. As we descended the footpath to the lighthouse, the fog dissipated and was quite surprised to find ourselves on hill above the lighthouse with a truly stunning view of the dark, grey sea.
After looking at your website, it takes me back home for a little while. Prior to leaving senior alaskan cruises Scotland I bought my house in Bearsden back in 1981, I was just a young man back then and silly,but that s another story altogether. Scotland for me will always be home,I m now 55, ten more years here and I ll be heading home, where I m not sure at this point but I do know it will be by the sea. The very thought of my window senior alaskan cruises open and smell that freshness and the sound of the waves. I don t want to wish my life away, but being home is where I belong,not six thousand miles away from my countrymen, my home land.
