El fuego tiene algo mágico… Disfrutando un finde de excursiones, chimeneas, juegos de mesa, gastronomía y buena compañía. 🙂
Stirling is a beautiful medieval city in the northwest of Edinburgh, and home of the Battle of Stirling Bridge where William Wallace (Braveheart‘s main character, just in case you didn’t know) took part, defeating the English army.
Therefore, you can find the William Wallace monument on top of a hill where you can see several battlefields and views till a couple of kilometres away in all directions. The monument shows William Wallace’s life since he was a child till his death, focusing in the battles he won… Quite interesting.
We also slept in a slightly special hostel with a cemetery in the garden… and guess who we found there. (ok, maybe 1926 was a bit too late for him)
The isle of Skye is another must in any route through Scotland. We went there in a day trip from our base camp in Fort Augustus. It was a long day, and lots of kilometre with the car, but still quite nice. The first great spot of the day is the Eilean Donan castle, which is on the way to Skye.
This castle is one of the most photographed spots in Scotland, and of course I contributed to this fact for a couple of times. 😉 This castle is also quite well known thanks to a couple of movies where it appears, like The World Is Not Enough.
And then, of course, the isle of Skye. The weather was not as good as we wished, but we enjoyed nice views. What I liked the most inSkye were the cliffs. Impressive.
