There’s something about the Giant’s Causeway which draws one to it. Whether it’s a sense of mystery as to how the rocks were formed or just the innate majesty of the sea crashing upon the rocks, I couldn’t say. All I can say is that should anyone invite me for a third time to visit this particular lieu I wouldn’t lightly refuse.

Any of these towns will do for a quick drive and an afternoon of exploration should you happen to be headed their way, but of course there are many others out there worth discovering. Next time you see a town with a small population, go off the beaten path and have a visit. You never know what you’ll find.

I love castles. Adore them. I love to run around seeing what pieces of history I can find, small and large, and imagining what they must have been like for the people who inhabited them. These castles though, they’re my absolute favourites; and this time they are absolutely ranked with the best at the top!

I’m definitely a city girl. Despite having lived in smaller towns most of my life, I love the energy and sleeplessness that big cities provide. I’ve been to a fair few such cities in my life, but these are my top five.

Those of you who have seen Outlander have no doubt been humming “Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,” since you saw the title. I don’t think Claire ever makes it to Skye, which is a shame because it’s a beautiful part of Scotland that shouldn’t be missed!

Found way up in the highlands of Scotland, Craig Phadrig is hidden in the northern outskirts of Inverness, and it’s hidden exceedingly well.
