| Beautiful rolling hills and stone buildings ~ between Aberdeen and Dundee |

| Loch Ness ~ I have been dreaming of coming here since I was a child ~ a big tick on my list of things to do in life (P.S. Nessie was "having a nap" when we visited) |

| Quaint village near Loch Ness |

| Old walled garden, Culloden House, Inverness |
 |
| Daffodils everywhere we went ~ these were in Aberdeen |
 |
| The Frayed Hem in Edinburgh ~ perfect spot for a crafternoon! |
 |
| Edinburgh |
 |
| My red door obsession was indulged in Edinburgh! |

| Dream house ... |

It is rare that we will visit a place and feel immediately at home ~ like it is somehow familiar and we belong. We felt this way about Scotland, and Edinburgh in particular. I could live there in a heartbeat. It's up there with Melbourne for me, and that's saying something! At the departures area of Edinburgh airport, there is a sign saying "Haste ye back" ~ meaning "return soon" ~ no encouragement needed. Scotland is magic.
I posted lots more pics to my instagram incase you're interested. Hope your weekend has been lovely so far!

Such beautiful photos Nic! I have cousins in Scotland and I would love to go visit one day.
I lived in Scotland for a bit a long way back... it is a very special place.
Fantastic photos Nic -
I love Scotland, especially Edinburgh (the Tatoo and many a New Years there!). I adore the accent and I'm half Scottish too!x
I too love Scotland, and like you ( despite being Australian born and bred) its a place I felt at home in. I lived for a little while in Ullapool, way up on the north west coast where the ferry goes off to the Western Isles. I worked in a small seafood restaurant called the Frigate, and in my spare time I went 'hillwalking' as they say. Just cooking and walking... pretty nice. It is very very beautiful especially up in the highlands.
The red door looks absolutely stunning!
Have a lovely Sunday!
Hey Nic, Scotland is definitely a place I want to go in my lifetime. Thanks for sharing those beautiful pics. Lucky girl you.
You lucky duck! : ) Our last visit to Scotland was to Loch Lomond, it was stormy, misty, dramatic and completely stunning. x Alisa
