Spent Christmas in Scotland in the snow with the family.

We spent Christmas with my Grandmother in Melrose and Yetholm in Scotland.

On our final day we woke up to more apropriate weather for the highlands – ie, rain and wind and got ready for the drive back to the borders.

We drove through Glencoe which is considered to be the entrace to the highlands. It certainly felt like the grandest part of the drive with the large hills and the vast expanse of bog.

After the collosal rain the night before, we woke up to a day that looked to actually be quite good weather. So we got straight to it and got on the ferry heading west over Loch Linnhe.

We left from Melrose early in the morning and entered the Highlands from the bottom of Loch Lomond. The route took us past Inveraray and Oban and up to Ballachulish which we used as our base for the trip.

There are plenty of castles everywhere and the countryside is just so green!
