Inverness, Scotland, United Kingdom
WOW Scotland Tour. Bus whisked is to the highlands passing Highland Cows(they are brown with horns unlike our Elsie’s), bales of hay dispersed on farmland and green, green , green  rolling hills. Tour guide Donald in a kilt of course.
1stStop, Black island where Gillis the witch inOutlander danced. You can tie a piece of someone’s clothing on a branch to secure  good health for them. Then on to Lochness, a beautiful lake inhabited by the mythical monster, if you dip your toe in you a guaranteed a sighting- didn’t work for me
Lunch in the quaint town of Bealy where a monastery 12 century centered the village along a winding river
Then on to Clava Cairns - site of the stones in Outlander here is where Claire ( main female character) gets transported to the 17 th century.  I tried it but so far no transport, if I don’t return then we’ll......
Last stop Culloden battlefield where the Scots were demolished in a major battle. Our guide was an extra, a corpse on the battlefield. He suffered a slow death, kept moaning hoping for a speaking part
Tatties= Scottish potatoes.  That was our lunch soup

Wow! Scotland looks beautiful, so green and clean! Stick your foot back in Lochness..... I really want to see photos of that "mythical" creature. (I think that it is real but is smart enough to outswim the people who chase after it)

I’ve been obsessed with all things Outlander for years! Probably a good thing you weren’t transported to another time..the babies need you too much!
