This is already our 10th visit to Scotland, we can't get enough of it. This time we mainly stay in the Highlands and spend a week in a house on the beach near Plockton on the west coast. This trip we have put the GPS coordinates of the photos in a kmz file so that you can see where the photos were made. Click on the GoogleEarth link to view the route and the photos of that day. For this you need GoogleEarth that you can download for free (here ).
