One needs to be a poet in order to describe the beauty that is Scotland. Rolling hills, verdant meadows, dream-like countryside, magnificent castles, a rich and vivid history, Scotland can enthrall even the most disinterested of hearts. And then there are the flowers that can steal your heart. Everywhere. Wild. Exotic. Royal. In the castle grounds. At the street crossings. In the many parks. Jostling with the trees in the dark woods. Perched on walls. Growing beside rocks. Braving the extreme moors. Defying the highlands. The tulips. Rhododendrons. Blue bells. Lillies. Cherry Blossoms. Gorse bushes. A holiday in Scotland, then, is imperative.
Smitten by its tales of beauty, we planned a five-day holiday there one May covering Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, and the famous Highland and Isle of Skye tour. Recreating here, in the following posts, that once-in-a-lifetime experience so that you too can plan a holiday there with your friends or family.

Hi,
Stumbled upon your blog and found it quite interesting. Me and my husband would like to visit Shillong within this week and wanted some local info. We would be delighted if you could share your insights. You can reach me at deepamankani@yahoo.com
Hi Deepa,
Wonderful time to go to Shillong!! Do let me know what you’d like to know. And I’d be glad to help with the local info. Also, hope you have read the 3 blogs I have on Shillong.
I am presently in Scotland — funny, I am in Scotland and you are going to Scotland of the East 🙂 — and have a full day tour to the Isle of Skye tomorrow. Will be able to check my messages again only after about 24 hours. Hope the delay will be not much of a problem.
Await your mail.
Cheers,
Deepa
