Although we could have taken a major motorway on our road trip home from Scotland, we decided it would be more fun to take the backroads and make some stops along the way (I think Brian also suggested this because he knows how much I hate road trips and thought this would help keep me distracted)! =)As we drove, we saw some of the most 'scenic vistas' we've ever seen! The roads were quite small and windy at times, but that wasn't the worst part. We kept seeing signs for "blind summits," and it wasn't long until we discovered what those were! For those who don't know, it's basically when the road you're on changes elevation pretty quickly, to the point where the car in front of you suddenly disappears until you then make it over the crest of the hill. Our stomachs kept dropping out from us, but luckily neither of us got sick.
We looked for brown signs during the drive which point out historic and other interesting points along the way. We were able to see a really cool bridge, a castle, a house where Mary Queen of Scots lived, and some other really cute towns. Plus, we made a stop on the top of a hill-mountain (couldn't decide which it was) at the border between Scotland and England. It was fun to see the giant rock with one country on each side plus see the flags of both countries.
Here are our favorite pictures from the drive. =)
