Scotland - July 2010

A week after Yorkshire, we were off to Scotland. First time for me and Maria. We spent a few days in Glasgow, as Will had to participate at a conference and then we head to Fort William, where Ben Nevis is, which is the highest mountain in the UK. Here are some pictures from our trip.

First geocache in Scotland

First waterfall seen on the way to Fort William

This is the Neptune's Staircase, which is the longest staircase lock in the United Kingdom, and lifts boats 64 feet (19.5 metres). The Harry Potter steam train was just passing by

Glenfinnan Viaduct, known also as Harry Potter viaduct as scenes from the movie were filmed here. 

Glefinnan Monument, a very scenic and historic place

We were so pleased that the sun finally came out

"Do we still need the umbrella?"
