Helen had to pick the car up herself, so had to do all the driving. Lucky me! We traveled a selection of M roads (boring divided highway) A roads (like SH1 back home) and B roads (interesting and scenic, but slower).
The Scottish countryside around where we drove is a lot like New Zealand’s North Island, with lots of rolling hills, mostly farmlands, with either grazing animals or fields full of potatoes, turnips etc. But everything is so much older and rustic, adding a charm and character unique to this country. The majority of farm houses are old stone cottages, and instead of wire fences there are stone walls. Everything we saw was a postcard picture.
So there are a number of blog entries to follow the one you are reading now, covering some of the places we visited, which will trickle through over the coming days.
