Inverness - Land of the Loch Ness Monster, -2 degC: Our first day in Scotland and also Jemmy's first time at the wheels! Clocked 150kmh, he says the feeling damn shiok:) 5 long long hours went by, with breathtaking-ly beautiful scenery along the way. The temp dropped to -5 degC midway thru! Brr. Mountains, rivers, lakes, valleys went by slowly. There were sooo many lambs/ sheeps, my dad insisted we have an all-lamb feast when we arrive. Stopped at a service station to grab sandwiches and chips for our little picnic by the famous Loch Ness. The surrounding was just beauuutiful, but damn windy. Enjoy the pics below, which i risked freezing off my fingers to capture the beauty of LN.
On the way back from Inverness, our car kena cow/sheepdung. Freaky smelly! When we drove to York and parked in a shopping street, people stared at the car. It was that bad. So we went for a cheapo automated carwash. The smell unfortunately lingered on for the rest of the trip.

I consider it a must-go in Scotland. Every building blows you away with its 'oldness' and grandeur. Love the tartan patterns of diff colour combinations! Beats the boring Burbury one for sure. I shall let the pics do the talking:)
That's the famous Edinburgh Castle up there!
Top of Edinburgh!
York is a mini-Ediburgh. Similarly old and historic. Yellowy-brown buildings made of stone, which in a SG context, would have been obsolete, disgusting. Somehow these lichen-infested buildings look so artsy in York, a city with much history. I love gothic design of the Yorminster very much:)
