Photographs van Scotland, September 2015

In 2015 we visit Scotland in September and our main destination is Mull, an island of the Inner Hebrides where we have booked a cottage for a week. Mull is the third largest island in Scotland and we also cross a day to the Isle of Iona where there is a famous monastery. Unfortunately, the weather is not fantastic and we have a lot of rain, but luckily it is regularly dry during the day and we see beautiful things again.
And for a change we fly again to Scotland, this time to Inverness, and rent a car so that we have less travel time.
Here all all the photographs of this journey that we use on the website.
