After the whirlwind of madness that was the spectacular Hogmanay festival in Edinburgh , I was so looking forward to getting into the Highlands of Scotland with Haggis Adventures to explore the more natural side of my wonderful country.
As a proud Scot, I couldn hawaii cruise packages t wait to explore some areas of Scotland hawaii cruise packages that I hadn t yet had the chance to. Many people thought it was a crazy idea to send 21 bloggers from around the world, including myself, into the Highlands in the harsh winter months. Well, they couldn t have been more wrong we enjoyed unseasonably warm temperatures and were even lucky enough to be treated to some blue skies and sunshine!
In just three days we explored hawaii cruise packages Glen Coe, Loch Ness, the Cairngorms and the Isle of Skye; passing by countless hawaii cruise packages other enchanting lochs, hills, valleys and waterfalls on our journey. The scenery is truly breath-taking. Dwarfed by the steep hills around me I was stunned into silence and a sense of awe .We began at Glen Coe which has garnered a lot of interest thanks to recent James Bond movie Skyfall , and my goodness it deserves it.
At Loch Ness we heard the tales of the famous monster (or monsers!) of the Loch, and the unexplained mystery which surrounds their potential existence. The fact that the Loch is shrouded in this mystery only adds a sense of intrigue to its already intense natural beauty.
The real highlight of the trip for me was visiting the Isle of Skye. The raw, mostly untouched, beauty that is visible on the island is both captivating and unforgettable. The Kilt Rock, so called because the rock carved by the sea and winds looks like the tartan hawaii cruise packages of a kilt, is beautiful and only added to by the picturesque waterfall cascading down the cliff and into the sea.
My visit to the Highlands was one I'll never forget , but it definitely won't be the last time I explore. By the end of the trip I was truly grateful to belong to such a beautiful, wild and natural hawaii cruise packages country. I definitely left a little piece of my heart there, and I'm already planning to visit again in summer and this time for much longer.
Thanks very much Emma! We really enjoyed following you and experiencing Scotland afresh through a Scot s eyes! We ll no doubt hear more from you  getting out and about and enjoying what you ve so beautifully described will hopefully inspire others to do the same during our Year of Natural Scotland 2013
