It rains a lot in Scotland, and whenever that happened, we had
to put on raincapes. Some of us aren't amused by this, and unfortunately,
I'm one of them:
Getting the bikes together was a big hassle, and caused me no
end of frustration:
It rains a lot in Scotland, and whenever that happened, we had

I'm one of them:
Our first destination was the Isle of Arran, which was gorgeous, though very rainy:
| 
|
| We stayed at the Brodick Guest House |
There was that obligatory time spent visiting ruined castles, of course:
| 
| |
| Glenbeg was our first ruined castle. | As you can see, it's kinda hard to get in, which means that it was a good design. | |
| 
| |
| Carbisdale was a relatively modern castle converted into a youth hostel. | 2 nights spent there was too many, however, as it was quite cold! | |
| 
| |
| Urqhaut was the last ruined castle we visited. | It was quite nice, though we got there late and didn't get much chance to explore. |
But never forget, the biggest meanest castle of them all, Edinburgh castle:
But Scotland wasn't all castles. It was also touristy spots like Oban:
And meeting new friends like Scarlet Tang:
(That was the Clan MacDonald Center grounds. Pretty, ain't it?)
The Outer Hebrides were gorgeous, but rainy, rainy, and rainy:
| 
| 
|
| Armadale on the Isle of Skye | Rain on Lewis | A partial respite from rain on Lewis |
Then there was Ullapool & the road to Carbisdale, as well as Carbisdale itself:
| 
| 
|
| It was actually warm enough for a while to wear shorts! | Nice Bridge | Couldn't help showing it twice. |
Then there was also Inverness, a visit to a distillary, and good weather:
| 
| 
|
| Inverness was gorgeous! | Obligatory distillary | It only gets nice at the end of a trip! |
Never forget the hairy cows!
