In an effort to get a decent picture, Erick and I trudged through some serious mud. Can you see it? I made the kids stay on the path. They wanted to climb up too, but I just couldn't handle the idea of all the mud when we still had hours of driving ahead of us. It didn't stop them from getting soaked in the rain, though.
We really loved the wild and rugged landscape of the highlands. I asked Erick to pull over often, so I could capture the beautiful scenery. It was raining most of the day, and the clouds and fog covered many of the mountains. Every once in a while, it would clear up a bit.
We ended up driving through Glencoe, a famous, scenic, and historic area. There is Celtic lore that originates in Glencoe and lots of Scottish history surrounding the MacDougall, the MacDonald, and the Campbell Clans. Most recently, the movies Skyfall and Harry Potter were filmed here.
When there is rain, there are often rainbows!
