July 2017: four days in the motherland with my sister, emma
Day 1: Edinburgh
It may have been the great weather, but I could have spent a week in Edinburgh. What a beautiful city full of interesting landmarks and rich history.

Day 2: Glasgow
We sadly had a gloomier day in Glasgow and were pretty tired after 4 days in Iceland and a full day in Edinburgh, but we tried to make the most of it. We stayed in and walked all around the West End on our first day and then saw the center city and the George Square area during our other afternoon.

Day 3: Isle of Mull and Duart Castle
The highlight of our trip to Scotland was seeing the castle of the Clan Maclean. We had pretty terrible weather, but we still managed to have a lovely visit. From Glasgow, we took a 3 hour train to Oban and then a one hour ferry to the Isle of Mull, where we were able to get a van to take us directly to Duart Castle.

Day 4: Oban
Our last day in Scotland was spent traveling from Oban to Glasgow and then on to Dublin, but we did get to spend a leisurely morning in Oban before the travels. We had beautiful weather again and truly enjoyed the little town.
