In the wilderness in Scotland, these orange bushes are everywhere. They're called 'furze', and I was obsessed with them 💛 I wonder if it's possible to have them inside.. in a flower pot.. and how easily they'd die 😅 • This shot is a little meh, but it's the only one I got with the bushes. I have a recurring issue, which is that I think I have all the time in the world to do something, so I postpone it and then never get around to it. Anyone else do that or is it just me?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

From one very beautiful, early morning at Loch Ness. And yes, we did see her 🐉🤭 • If I haven't convinced you to visit Scotland yet, I don't know what else will 🤷🏼‍♀️ Two more pictures, then moving on!

Do you even l̶i̶f̶t̶ recognize this? • It's Glenfinnan Viaduct; the train tracks that lead to Hogwarts. Despite the fact that I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan, I sure did insist on visiting a lot of HP related sites 😂 • On a side note, my friend twisted her ankle here and dropped half the content of an M&Ms bag. Thinking back, I'm not sure if I'm more appalled by her losing the chocolate or the fact that we brought snacks on a 5 minute walk 😂

This waterfall literally popped up around a corner, next to the highway where my second post from Scotland was taken. Luckily, there was enough space for a few cars to park next to it, so, I slammed the brake, and we spent a few moments in awe here, while the sun was slowly rising behind the mountains 🤗

The older I get, the less I like city breaks. Maybe it's because I'm not really a consumer anymore - at least not to the degree that I used to be. And since moving to the country, I can't stand the constant noise and crowds. Yes, I'm definitely getting old 😂 However, Edinburgh has some pretty interesting history and architecture to explore - not to mention the cozy pubs and some relatively exhaustive hikes! And if you're a Harry Potter fan, there are a few extra treats in store for you. All in all, the Scottish capital is a delight for a weekend getaway! 💯

Which one do you prefer - 1 or 2? I kinda like the branches, because they make the picture less empty.. but I also like it without the branches, BECAUSE they make it more empty 🤔 Would love to hear your thoughts! • This is Eilean Donan Castle. First built in the 13th century, then restored for the last time in the 1930's and now a museum. It's so beautiful inside and out, which is why it's one of the most famous castles in Scotland. It's been featured in several movies, such as the James Bond movie The World is not Enough and rom-com Made of Honor. • Have a great weekend, everyone! 💛
