Postcards from Scotland: Our UK Honeymoon

Postcards from Scotland: Our UK Honeymoon

Postcards from Scotland

Scotland provided a welcomed change of pace from the busy streets of London. The people were happier and induced conversation. The buildings are older and have some charming grit to them. The weather was much colder, a fact that I rather enjoyed as compared to the warm dampness in the air that tended to irritate me in London. Scotland was crisp and rugged much like my home in British Columbia, Canada at this time of year.

As a fan of the Outlander television show I was enthralled in its history and even impressed my husband with the extent of my knowledge of Scottish history (thank you Diana Gabaldon!). In Scotland, much like Ireland, their stories are tragic and their traditional music is sung with deep lamentation and grief for their suffered countrymen. Interestingly, as a British descendent I felt guilty. My ancestors were the antagonist in this country’s past and for some in its present as well. Fifty million people in the world claim Scottish ancestry, maybe I need to do some more digging into my own.

With my husband, his family dons from the Isle of Skye on his mom’s side. However, on our honeymoon we stuck to Edinburgh and the immediate area venturing as far as Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. We fully expect to return one day and I have a mind to go north into the Highlands. But until then here are bit a few of our best photos from Scotland. The country is picturesque!

    Great photographs. The Scottish countryside has since been on my list of European Counties to visit. The lakes, mountains and towns are stunning.

      Yes you must go! Scotland is considered part of the United Kingdom and much of the history there is in conflict against England. Fascinating stuff! Never realized how much of Outlander (the TV series based on the books) would help me understand my travels throughout Scotland! I do hope you go one day!

    SO beautiful! My mom and I are in the middle of trip planning for Scotland (a family trip there next June), but we have no idea where to go. Looks like such a peaceful and beautiful country. And btw, I’m a big fan of Outlander, too!

      Woot! A fellow Outlander fan – I love when I find a fellow Sassenach 😉
      If you do decide to visit Edinburgh I would definitely say to spend about 2 days there and then move on. The countryside is where I felt most engaged as a traveler with the locals. The people are so friendly!
