10 Attractions to See at Night

If you’re brave, or in a safe city, there are some awesome things around the world to be seen at night. Let’s go!

The Giant’s Causeway

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.

Small Town Charm

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.

Top 5 Big Cities

Skye

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!

Craig Phadrig

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