Another Scottish Adventure: This one includes young men in vests instead of kilts.


Something else happened in Scotland that I kind of purposely left out.
I thought, "Crud. If they only knew how many times I went into a stranger's car they'd freak out."

But luckily for all of us I'm still alive and here to tell the tale.

While staying in a bed and breakfast in the Highlands I met a lovely American couple.
They knew I was alone and had no car so they offered to drive me around Inverness with them.
Well, first we went to Church and then they drove me around. Such nice people!

Anyway, we ended up at the Castle Stuart Golf Links.
In fact, it was the same course where the Scottish Open was just held just that year.
A big deal since Scotland is the birthplace of golf.


Luckily for all you single ladies, I also got some shots of two Scottish men playing a round.
They were kind enough not to ask me to please stop stalking them.
Haha... just kidding. I was somewhat discrete, mostly due to my zoom lens.
All for the blog, my friends!
All for the blog!




An up close shot for my friends that appreciate a Scot. 



Anyway, Scotland is beautiful all around and their golf courses are no exception.
The scenery of the loch alone is spectacular.
Add in the fact that a monster could be traveling in the depths of it and eating up all the random golf balls makes it all the more exciting.

Haha- now you see why I could never be a travel blogger.
<"And then there was a monster!! Muahahahaha!">





With that touch of immaturity, I bid you farewell.
Or, as the Scots would say,

Tìoraidh an-dràsta!

 ps... I love Scotland!

Ahh golf fashion, don't we love it.

Scottish men are gorgeous, I am luckily marrying one, in Scotland. Which means my (future) kids will be Scottish, not English, no.

You have gotten me in such a frenzy–what gorgeous photos!

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

Must. Go.

And I don't think it's strange you accepted a ride from these people. I mean, you chatted with them, so it's not like they randomly picked you up on the side of the road. I just feel like we need to trust there are good-hearted people out there. It's really the only way to live.

Josie said...

I would love to go to Scotland and really must get there one day. The Highlands are supposed to be so beautiful too.
