Scotland is a beautiful country. It's rocky, lochy Highlands offer beautiful vistas and breathtaking glens; Edinburgh has its ancient castle and Royal Mile; and the islands have their own misty maritime allure.
And Scotland is full of Scottish people. They're the ones who thought it best not to waste money on roads wide enough for two cars to pass. Instead, they'd just put in the occasional "passing place".
These same Scots also decided to save on a bridge to Castle Stalker. Who needs a bridge when it's really easy to walk there at low tide.
I'm not sure what they're saving it all for. If it's for a rainy day, they'd be broke by now.
That said, when I'm an old, old lady, I will remember Scotland as one of my all-time favorite travel destinations.
