This was one of those trips that we had always talked a little bit about, but there always seemed to be something else that had priority. Kirstis' family though was having a reunion of sorts, and possibility of meeting most everyone in one place was too much to pass up. My only regret is that I wish we had gotten to meet them all a lot earlier, they are awesome!

We started our trip in Edinburgh, and then from there drove through Stirling, Callander, Glencoe, the farthest north we made it was Inverness. Along the way we had some great food, got to tour a number of truly awesome historical sites, and enjoyed the truly beautiful scenery.

From Inverness we headed south-west and spent a few nights on the Isle of Skye, and then onto Oban for a night, and then the Isle of Mull and Iona, the latter we spent two nights on. We finished our trip in Glasgow meeting with Kirstis Mom and Sisters again, and had a great couple of days there before heading home.

We are approaching the very northern part of Iona here, with a few sites on either side of the northern point we wanted to see, though we were running out of time.

We were going to sneak around the tip of the island to another beach, and these little guys were in our way. We decided at that point we were pushing our time and decided to walk back w/o disturbing them.

Walking north on the island past the Abbey, we are looking across here to Mull. There appear to be waterfalls in the distance.

Here on the NE corner of Iona we are approaching White Strand of The Monks, and yes, the water has a natural aqua color you would normally see in the tropics.
