Scotland

Scotland was a fantastic whirlwind of activity, so I am only now getting a chance to document it. Thursday morning I flew from Shannon, Ireland to Glasgow, Scotland. It was an okay city from what I saw of it. I was only there for a few hours, but don’t feel like a missed too much. It was friendly, but for the most part felt like a typical city.

In the afternoon I caught a train to Aviemore, in central Scotland. It is known for its abundance of outdoor activities. I can see why. It is a hub for hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, climbing, snow skiing, etc. I could definitely have spent several days there and not run out of things to do. I hiked to the top of a hill Thurs night that provided a great view of the city and valleys below. Very surreal. Went to a pub at night…surprise, surprise, and found out that the Titan Army was in town. They are a large group of formal supporters of the Scottish futbol team. They were a lot of fun. Then, on Friday morning, what must you do if you are in Scotland? Well golf, of course (no pun intended). I was able to get in a round at the championship course they had in town.

Then off to Aberdeen.
