Julia: We had an amazing hike today with truly beautiful scenery. We walked through glens, fields of heather, even a forest. Parts of the trail were flat while other sections had us climbing. Most of the time, the weather was great, overcast so it wasn't too hot - towards the end we had some rain, but nothing that slowed us down! My husband clocked us at about 28 minutes a mile and our total was 6.1 miles. We got some great pictures!

Beth: I've lost track of the days and the rest of the world doesn't exist. A traveler can't help but be immersed in the land, the amazing views, the swiftly changing weather, the history everywhere, and especially the wonderful people. On our hike today I know the wee woodland inhabitants were with us today. Toni: Pictures can not come close to describing the beauty of the land we just walked through...We all tried. Those who come to this country and don't go for a walk like this or drive through the backroads away from the towns will miss the main beauty of Scotland. Dress in layers and bring a rain jacket (MAC) and water proof hiking shoes because you do go through some bogs and cross small streams, but those moments are fleeting.
