So.. prepare to be a bit picture spammed. Day two was by far my favorite day, especially when it comes to the photography.
We first went to see Eilean Donan Castle, which is the caste where they shot the Highlander movie. The weather was shitty in the beginning and cleared up later. So it was fab.

My favorite part of the whole journey however was the road to Applecross. The road was very curvy and narrow and therefor scary especially since it seems for the longest time we were driving right into the fog. Btu the view and nature and everythign was so brilliant. These photographs cannot capture who brilliant it is. But since I loved it SO much, I took tons of pics. I tried out my gradient filter and all the pics have a wonderfully moody quality. And I couldn't decide which to post, so scaled a lot. No color corrections though. Some pics seem similar and I didn't realize.

Because the sheer amount of pictures was too much for my photoshop (5 crashes!!!) I''ve decided to post the Scotland pics and report in several pieces.

We rented a car in Edinburgh and went north. Supposedly the drive was 4 hours, but we stopped every so often to take pictures and took detours. Lesson one, even if it seems that it's not really a road, it IS. I was so surprised how small those motorways were sepecially judging from the map. That said, I think it is very very cool.
