Scottish Highlands:
Traveling up to the Highlands, typical view of Scottish countryside, very cold and wet.
Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park:
Loch Lomond is a recreational style loch, saw backpackers, hikers and boaters; it's mosty rough terrain.
Hiked up a small hill to get a better view of Loch Lomond.

Loch Katrine:
Loch Katrine is 8 miles long and 2/3 mile wide.
Loch Katrine was my favorite spot in the highlands. It was cold, misty, windy and rainy everywhere. Air is pure and clean. This place is truly unspoiled. Lichens grow everywhere, an organism which won't grow if there is any trace of pollution in the air.
