Visiting Scotland

Posted by: Nicole North
I'll be headed to magical, mystical Scotland this week and I wanted to share pics of some of the places I hope to visit!











Have you been to any of these places and can you name some (or all) of them?




"Simply sizzling, this is one tale that fairly burns off the pages! This book was magical both in the story and in the spicy scenes. Author Nicole North has captured the mythology of the Fae and tied them into the heart of Scotland. Throw in a whole lotta lust, and this book is sure to light a fire in the mind of any reader."

    The first pic is the Eilean Donan Castle! I love that castle and would love to see it. When are you going to Scotland, Nicole?

    Take lots of photos! I want to live vicariously through your great highland adventures.

    I'm sure one of them is Loch Ness, but I'm just guessing because it seems like a place you "should" go LOL.

    I'm bummed that I'll be missing you in Scotland by just a couple weeks. Have a fabulous time!

    Morning Nicole. You are torturing me, you know, but I am still smiling. Eilean Donan and Urquart are two of my favorite places in the world, but, then again, you already know that. Have a safe journey, takes lots of photos, eat that Million Dollar bar (and one for me please, or at least drop a few crumbs in whatever pocket I am riding in) and, one last time, travel safely. I so look forward to some more of your photography.

    A hunk in a kilt in one of those photos might be nice. ;)

    Thanks so much, everyone for checking out my pics! I’m excited about our trip! You’re right, Renee! The first pic is Eilean Donan!

    Thanks Barbara, Maeve, and Lu!!

    Seleste, wow that’s great that you’re going too but yes a bummer that our paths won’t cross this time.

    Paisley, yes, Eilean Donan and Urquhart. I’m looking forward to one of those Million Dollar bars. I simply must have one this time. I’ll look for a hunk to photograph. Not sure what my husband will say about that though. LOL

    Thanks K.V., Janni and Nikki!! Yes, I plan to take lots of pics!

    Jody, you did a great job. Of course I knew you would! LOL

    1) Eileen Doonan CORRECT
    2 a guess here but Glen Coe?CORRECT
    3) Urqhuart Castle on loch Ness CORRECT
    4) a guess, a look from Skye to the outer Hebredies (Close! This is a view from Kilt Rock looking the opposite direction and toward the mainland)
    5) View of Castle Urqhuart up Loch Ness (Good guess. This is actually a view from Eilean Donan Castle out over Loch Alsh)
    6) was going to say castle at Edinburgh (the architecture) but don't remember any gravel, (This is Eilean Donan Castle again)
    7) no clue (This is Fairy Glen)
    8) is this Inverrary Castle in Argylle (This is Dunrobin Castle)
    9) the crofters museum on Skye CORRECT

    Thanks again everyone for visiting! And I hope you get to plan a trip to Scotland soon!
