(149,297 posts)Scotland is certainly a beautiful, if stark, place.
Love the dwelling on top of the hill, and the bridge! I wonder how old these structures are.
And the water flowing, and your mom, and the cattle!
I think you're having a great time.

(11,784 posts)My friend took the photo. She lives in Glasgow and we were traveling together.
So the bridge is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous in Harry Potter (I guess-Ive never watched or read). It opened in 1901.
As for the castle on the hill...its Castle Tioram, from the 1300s. The other castle in the distance is Kilchurn, from the 1400s.
Its always a fun thing to turn a historian loose 😊

Incidentally, if you like Scottish landscape photography, you should check out Kim Grant's channel on YouTube.

(11,034 posts)I really like the photo of the heilan coo. Actually, I just like saying (or typing) heilan coo but it is a fine specimen.

(11,034 posts)I would think New Mexico some warmer than the hielands.
El Mimbreno
(777 posts)About 5700 ft elevation in the valley, mid 90s about the usual max. What's really intense here is the sun.

El Mimbreno
(777 posts)Took a "small bus" tour about 3 years ago. Our guide was a red-haired, bearded, kilted Scot with a degree is Scottish history. He even finagled an unscheduled distillery tour and tasting.
