Scotland is so beautiful. Last weekend we went on a road trip to Isle of Mull - not our first time; we have friends who live there and visit them a couple of times a year. Almost the entire way from our house up to Oban is incredibly scenic, and this time of the year the views were just breathtaking, especially that the weather was perfect. In Oban we went to an awesome place called The Oban Chocolate Company, for some of the best chocolate treats I have ever tasted. Then we took the ferry to Craignure (Isle of Mull), and spent two nights on the island. Here are some of the pictures I took on our way up, and on Mull. We couldn't help but stop several times on our way to admire the views!

It was a beautiful trip. We got to see a lot of wildlife: seals in Loch Long, three fallow deer in the forest (they were huge!!), a polecat and an otter on the road, and several types of birds.
We planned to go via Glencoe on our way back for even more breathtaking views, but just as we were about to board the 11am ferry on Sunday morning, our car battery went. We eventually got it sorted with the help of kind people, but the next ferry off the island was not until 5pm - by that time it was already dark and there was no point going the Glencoe way as we wouldn't have been able to see anything. Hopefully next time! Glencoe is amazing any time of the year.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, and I love the shot of the rams, they look very majestic :-)
