A 12 day journey in June 2009 around Scotland by train made a special mother / 18 year-old daughter trip.
After flights from the US to Manchester, England, we made our way into Scotland on different four trains before arriving in Aviemore. We were able to enjoy a nice hike in the national park and an afternoon walk and dinner in Inverness later that day.
Here is our first short video from the road of our hike in the Cairngorms National Park near Aviemore.
We spent three days in Fort William enjoying several outdoor activities, including hiking and boat cruising on a lake. We also took a day trip by train and ferry to the Isle of Skye.
