Enjoy, it's such a great country!

(150,090 posts)Yup, looks like Scotland, all right. Somehow it always seems on the dark mysterious side!
Beautiful photos!
Thanks for sharing them.

(32,628 posts)As we approached the Moors I was overwhelmed with emotion. I stopped the car and got out to really enjoy the view.
I said to my partner - I have come home.
At that time I did not yet know that I had indeed come home.
I wanted to move there but could not figure out a way to make a living so it did not happen.

(11,807 posts)Except I studied here for a year and got a visa extension (and hired by the Law School where I studied). It requires me to make big life decisions (like quit a decent tenured job at a university here).
But I couldnt have done any of it without taking a year to study.
I know the feeling of emotion you had. The first time I landed in Ireland I sobbed like an idiot. I was the first of my family to return since the 1910s.

(2,133 posts)The crypt downstairs was supposedly where the Holy Grail was hidden (IIRC), and whether that's true or not, it's a location that is steeped in an atmosphere of mystery and awe.

Those images really take the mind to another place. And another time. Right away I go to howd they do that?

(11,807 posts)Standing in York Minster, I was just blown away (happens every time I go to a Gothic cathedral). It's awe-inspiring.

(81,821 posts)Sometimes thats all I can say, as I gaze, agog, at those photos. Especially that ceiling photo. Just jaw-dropping

(32,628 posts)be on the lookout for Highland Cattle. They are so cute.
My fav Scottish breed is the Belted Galloway. It is sometimes called the Oreo cow.
Like chimney sweeps... spotting one or more will bring you good luck.
There is a herd of Belted Galloways about 40 miles from my house. Some days I just drive out to that farm, pull in the barnyard and walk down the fencerow to look at them. The family is used to me coming in the yard so they just wave and go on.

(11,807 posts)Theres some on a farm along I-70 in central PA.
My first trip to the Highlands,I made my friend pull over at a random farm because some coos were at the fence. Heilan coos are adorable.
