Scottish Highlands

The country of Scotland is basically divided into two sections. The highlands and the lowlands. Edinburgh is located in the lowlands and is very flat for the most part. On the other hand, as one would expect from the name, the highlands are quite mountainous. I was able to take a day trip from Edinburgh to tour around the highlands. It was neat because the tops of most mountains were covered in mist, adding to the mystery and wonder of the area. There were also many rivers and lakes scattered around the highlands.  The bus I was on drove through the various glens or valleys of the highlands. The scenery was breathtaking. It is hard to believe that the Scottish Clans used to inhabit this area before the advent of modern day technology.
