Oh hello there. I know I’ve been blogging a little less frequently the past week or two, but I just moved to Sydney last week and have started a new job, so things are a little cray cray what with it being right before Christmas too. I’ll have a full post explaining my Sydney move soon, but until them, I thought I’d break up the Perth posts with a little Wanderlust Inspiration for a chilly Wednesday (back in London…it’s nice and warm here in Sydney ;)).
My family and I went to Scotland back in June 2010. We stayed in a gorgeous big house in a tiny hamlet near Oban, and explored the West Highlands, including Oban, Fort William, and the Isle of Mull. It was a week of breathtaking scenery, almost no phone signal, a lot of very cool and calm water, and some interesting wildlife and flora. All photos are my own obvs. So, without further ado…here are 15 photos and reasons that will make you want to visit Scotland ASAP…
1. Isolated telephone boxes
2. Butterflies and flowers everywhere!
3. Serene sunsets over the lochs
4. Castles from Shakespeare plays
5. Mossy forests that make you feel as though you’re in LOTR
6. Cute and colourful fishing villages
7. Bluebells!
8. Breathtaking lochs every time your car turns a corner
9. The Hogwarts Express bridge from the Harry Potter movies
10. Picture postcard views
11. Mountains. Mountains everywhere.
12. The feeling that you’re the only person in the world
13. This view from Ben Nevis
14. Numerous sights that make your jaw drop
15. And those magical sunsets…
Have you been to Scotland? Is it on your list?

Oh my gosh. My husband has been bugging me for such a long while to book a trip next year for Scotland and I think we HAVE to now!
Right, off to book my trip to Scotland next year!! I used to drive through Dumfries and take the ferry from Stranaer to get to N. Ireland! Loved going through the scenery!!
