The Gorge - Scotland 2007

Scotland 2007

In September 2007 we went on a driving holiday in Scotland (pausing in York on the way up, to visit the National Railway Museum).

Normally I would do a detailed write-up of the trip, but I don't have time at present. Instead, I've uploaded my photos to albums, hosted on Google's Picasa service, and linked below. Generally anything beginning "Travelling..." will be photos from the road, whereas others are more specific (and probably better composed / more interesting).

I made a particular point of photographing the bridges we passed.

I have also reviewed the places we visited on Inaccessible UK, a website for visitor reviews with an emphasis on disabled access. Links to these reviews are included in case you would like to read my thoughts and experiences.

The photos and reviews are listed by day, and then come four more photo collections, some of which overlap with others - but if you just want to view my favourite "ten prettiest photos", all the bridges we saw, or even want to see what the hotel rooms were like, then skip to the bottom!
