And it was very... very interesting i'd never been that far north in scotland before i'd been to glasgow and edinburgh but never that far north and it's it really is beautiful it's so untouched like population density is very very low up in the the the the high highlands like there's no one there so it's uh it's very remote and very very beautiful and often you meet these you find these absolute pearls of beaches like there was one place uh i was reading a tour guide and it recommended this one beach and it was the hardest thing to find we we overshot it twice um it looked like you were driving into a person's driveway and there was grass on the middle of this lane going up beside the church so this can't be right and then we got we got this car parked beside a graveyard we said this is couldn't couldn't be right and then we got out and we walked a little through A couple of sand dunes came over and then this absolutely stunning beach that no one knows about.
But, I couldn't help but think during a lot of the trip, this is actually very like the west coast of Ireland.
Many of the beaches were very, very like Donegal and some of the really kind of slightly more developed touristy places were very like Dingle, Kerry, around there, you know, the Sleigh Head Drive and up the Wild Atlantic Way.
This sometimes happens when you live here in Ireland, you go, rain, bless us and save us, the place is miserable.
Are you absolutely kidding me? So I think when we go abroad for a while and then you come back, really begin to appreciate what we have here.
