Topic: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Just seen this page on the BBC site of some pics taken in Scotland last week and some of them are crackers! None were taken by me, but I loved some of them and thought I'd share them here.

Some real good scenery pics in there.

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Glad that you liked them all! smile

Think that the BBC does a round up of their best pics from Scotland each week so I'll post some more next week if there are some good ones.

Got to do my bit for the Scottish tourist board after all! wink

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Have you seen the newest James Bond film?  I believe Scotland is featured prominently in it.  smile

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Not seen the latest Bond film Randi but I hear that it is meant to be really good. And of course, if Scotland features in it prominently then it is bound to be good! smile I do like the Bond films a lot! Shhaken, not shtirred! As Sir Sean would say! wink

For sure Darla, you're on the list! smile

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

I loved the pictures of Scotland.  We visited several years ago and even climbed Ben Nevis.  What a beautiful country!

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Glad that you enjoyed your trip over here Linda! And well done on climbing Ben Nevis! I did that when I was a kid and it the views and scenery there are stunning are they not! Hope it wasn't too chilly at the top for you!!

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

It was chilly on top and quite slippery as well.  I really wasn't prepared for the snow and was a bit worried I would slip over the edge!  My husband and our friends from Belfast who joined us there made the climb easily but I found it quite challenging.  However, the views made it all worthwhile.

Re: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.

Gav, when I was a Travel Consultant, for 35 years, and I sent people to a tour that included England, Ireland and Scotland, they loved Scotland best! Sorry everyone else but a true story! These pics are beautiful.
