Best Places to Visit in Scotland
At first glance, the Scottish landscape is harsh: foreboding fortresses atop hills and cliffs, the desolate moors… But spend some time here and you’ll quickly realize Scotland has its own unique beauty: breathtaking highlands just made for hiking and strolling, craggy coastlines, monuments that are proud reminders of long-ago battles, and blue lakes just made for fishing. Scotland is a land of legends and romance, from Robert the Bruce and Macbeth to lake monsters and the tragic Mary Queen of Scots. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Scotland:

Dark Sky
What I miss the most about Flagstaff is the night sky. From the side street next to my house I could look up at the end of any day and see the bright splatter of stars so close, I felt the light in my fingertips. I would come home at the end of the day, walking in the dark the one mile from my office on campus, and stare up for one lingering moment before I punched in the code for the garage door and waited for it to open. I would stare into the night, feet tired and brain weary, and catch the firmly edge of the Milky Way loping above Mackenzie Drive. I traced my eyes in a weighty ellipse around the edges of the galaxy, and I could almost feel its rotation.

My Adventure in an Indian Tiger Preserve:
Tigers are fascinating and majestic creatures. After my misadventure at a tea plantation, my family headed to the Periyar Tiger Preserve National Park. The national park was a beautiful area covered in dense forest with a series of interconnected lakes. On one of the lakes, there was a small resort where guests could stay the night. Guests had to take a small boat out to the resort, and my father had rented it as an anniversary gift for my mother. When we arrived by boat, we were informed that it was possible to see wild elephants bathing in the lake early in the mornings.

The Ultimate Freedom of Long-Distance Hiking. Top Story - June 2021.
There is nothing like waking up outside. I open my eyes, and I see the morning sun sneaking higher in the sky. I hear the birds singing in the trees. I remember that I am alive, and that today, I will see more wonders of nature around every turn. Maybe there will be mushrooms. Maybe I'll drink the coldest, purest water from a creek running with snowmelt. Sure, the hiking will be hard, and I will feel challenged physically, but the payoff is worth the effort a thousand times over.

A Passion for Nature, Art, and Sharing
My life is filled with passions. The urge to share what I discover in my travels and wild adventures through tropical rainforests, Mediterranean landscapes, arid deserts with subtle but diverse life, and waters that flow through ancient channels filled with life largely unknown. I feel driven to improve my photography and illustration skills to tell better the stories that move me. My desire to please others with my music and art, inspired by romantic tendencies from my adolescent years that I have never been able to outgrow. Growing frustration with the pervasive thought that I’m running out of time to do all that I want to do.

Imagination during Creation
A blank piece of paper is what I'm starting with. A blank piece of paper and a mental image. A memory, actually. A memory so vivid that shifting the image out of my mind and on to this paper is not only going to be so effortless but also comforting. I just know that tonight I'm going back in time.
