Here in Scotland a glen is a canyon.. and there are many, many, many of them to explore! One of our favorite glens thus far has been Glen Lyon, a surprise stop on our trip over to Oban!With a six-day break, we had to head out in Isobel for a bit. Our game plan was…
Let’s talk about traveling through Scotland… With Scotland being the relatively small country that it is, one can really get from one place to another in no time at all.

Today, we’re taking you on a Western Isle of Skye road trip. This is part of our first week long trip to the Isle of Skye when living in Aberdeen Scotland. And while the Isle of Skye is super famous now, let us tell you a bit about the island’s beauty. Isle of Skye is…
