Northern Scotland is lovely

I thought of mactavish. I could imagine her starting a similar project for California.

I went to look at the photographs from the Orkneys and Duncansby and they make my heart sing. I whimper with the knowledge that I was once in a place as beautiful as northern Scotland and I left it to come home.

This was one of our absolute favorite places in the UK:

I loved the cliffs in the Orkneys, the sea stacks at Duncansby (all right, all of Caithness), and all the old stones.

There's a gorgeous church-ruin somewhere in Scotland... one of the most beautiful things I'd seen done by the hand of man, and much much nicer with green grass all through it than it was when it had a floor and a roof. Unlike most enclosed spaces, I truly could imagine it being a holy place. Sadly, I've forgotten the name and location, so I can't browse to see if there's a geograph photo of it.
