A Wee Bit of DSL: Deep Scottish Love

Cuith-Raing, an old volcano in the Isle of Sky.

A waterfall in the highlands of Scotland

As our tour guide said, once you travel to the highlands of Scotland you will start to get butterflies in your stomach. This will be a new feeling called the DSL or Deep Scottish Love. This is the feeling of falling completely and entirely in love with Scotland and it's natural beauty. I must admit that I was feeling the DSL. I got muddy and wet hopping across rocks to get the best views of waterfalls.

I loved each new part of Scotland that I saw. The history is so violent in Scotland, but when I reached the Isle of Skye, our tour guide told us stories of faerries. The Isle of Skye's inhabitants mingle their history with stories of the faerries to the point that fact and fiction are indistinguisable. I also went to the site of Lochness and Nessie, the Lochness monster. However, she didn't show up to say hi. I thought it was quite rude of her.
