When Scottish Highlands came calling, wish you were there with me...

The valley was silent, except for the gushing of the innumerable streams that cut through hills on all sides, and merged into the river on its way to one of the many Lochs. I stood there, mesmerized, till the kilt-clad tour guide called out to me. We were getting late...

I was on a 5-day-long solo trip to the Scottish Highlands, a land straight out of the childhood fairy tales, where anything seems possible. Mother nature is moody here -- the purple bog only smiles upon you when it wants to. And when it turns its back upon you, the landscape stays shrouded in a mist so thick that you may need to wait for days for a fleeting glimpse of the Old Man of Storr.
