Scottish Highlands Wild Mountain Thyme

We had perfect weather the 3 days we spent in the Highlands of Scotland. It was something to behold. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite traditional songs-"Wild Mountain Thyme"the chorus of the lyrics go as follows:

     And will all go together
     to pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the bloomin heather
    Will ye go  
     lassie
     go
The fields are spectacular and not crowded. Scotland is about the same geography as England and has only about 5 million people where as England has 30+ million people. There are parts of the Highlands that are truly remote.

While we did have perfect weather, I am told and have seen pictures of some pretty rotten weather in the Highlands so our visit is by know means representative of the weather all year.

We recommend to everyone that they include the Highlands on their personal bucket list of things to do before they die.
