Tell me you went to Scotland without telling me you went to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Scottish Coastline is absolutely incredible, with cliffs, rock formations, and tons of sea birds. We took a boat tour from John O’Groats, and in addition to the magnificent rocks and cliffs, we saw tons of puffins! If haven’t figured it out yet, I’m pretty obsessed with those fat bellied birds. If you’re driving the North Coast 500, make some time to see the coast from the water. I feel so blessed to be able to drive to Scotland and do all this; it’s a beautiful country that I keep wanting to return to.

Heading on a North Coast 500 roadtrip? Bookmark this post! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dunrobin Castle is one of the first stops on the North Coast 500 from Inverness. We had a beautiful day, and even got to see the afternoon “Birds of Prey” show which was incredible. The castle dates back to the 1300s and is one of the most visited attractions in Northern Scotland. With 189 rooms, it is the largest in the Highlands. It even served as a hospital during WWI (as did many castles and estate homes in the United Kingdom). From the outside, this place is not too shabby! To be honest, the inside was a little too rustic/hunters decor for me. I’ll take the castles will Royal China and carved ceilings. This place is a must see on your NC500 tour; be sure to book in advance!

We drove Scotland’s North Coast 500 this summer, and it was amazing! We stayed in hotels, but it is the perfect route to do in a camper van/motor home. The coastline is incredible! Pictured here is Duncansby Stacks. We lucked out with beautiful summer weather, but Scotland is spectacular year round!

Going to Iceland? 🇮🇸Bookmark this post to visit the canyon the Biebs made famous!

It’s been a week or so since I’ve posted. First week of school has been busy, but amazing. Hats off to all the teachers and students going back to school and dealing with social distancing and masks! Be supportive of your child’s teacher regardless of how you feel about the school rules with Covid - chances are, their teachers had zero input.

Having fun climbing around on the larger than life lava fields in Myvatn!
