Iona, Scotland

We spent a night on the remote Isle of Iona, which is off the Isle of Mull, which is off the west coast of Scotland! Sarah's grandfather's family are from Iona and it was amazing to visit and see photos of her relatives on display in the local museum.

Glen Coe, Scotland









Ben Nevis, Scotland

We spent a day climbing Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain (1,344m). It was a pretty tough walk, taking 3.5 hours up and the same time to climb down due to the loose rocks most of the way. We had great weather most of the way until we reached the summit when it clouded over.
