As we sit at the quay waiting for our ferry to leave for Ireland, I am reflecting on the last week and our quick rip through Scotland. Starting in Edinburgh, to the Highlands, back down to Stirling then Glasgow, and finishing off in the beautiful coastal town of Stranraer, we feel that we caught the general essence of the country. The castles, the culture, the scenery and of course the people definitely give us cause to return for further exploration at a later date.

We look forward to visiting Ireland and find it hard to believe that at this time next week, we will be on a flight home. Where did these 11 months go?

Our Airbnb in Stranraer was one of the nicest we have had for a while. We were just feet from the water and the view from our room was great.
