The Highlands & Isle of Skye

Scotland is split into two "parts" the Highlands and the Lowlands. The Lowlands are where Edinburgh and Dalkeith are located, in the Southern portion of Scotland and the Highlands in the north. It's basically a bunch of hills that were once mountains and some mountains that are fairly large and everything are hills. We went on a three-day tour through a company called MacBackpackers. You got on a bus with this super awesome bus driver named Neil who was wearing a kilt and then drove onward toward the Isle of Skye.

For those who don't know, the Isle of Skye is super, unbelievably gorgeous. We stayed there for two nights - and amongst many grumbles of we'd rather stay here (Good food, a Hostel just to ourselves, absolutely beautiful and it was WARM (where we are staying here it's freezing.), we headed back down south to return to Edinburgh.
