Scotland

No shortcuts – Quote

February 12, 2021February 6, 2021 / Sirri / Leave a comment

A quote for all those who enjoy a little adventure

Next-door neighbour Dunblane

The excitement of having many small towns instead of a one mega city is that they are all different. The visit to the next town over feels like a little daytrip.

On top of the UK – Ben Nevis

November 18, 2017October 22, 2020 / Sirri / 1 Comment

A promising forecast and an interesting hill is a powerful combination. It is time to walk up Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.

Up we go

I focus on the red dots above me. Up they go forming a nice vertical path. Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, just call it Ratho, has hundreds of climbing routes for sports climbing and bouldering.

Sunny woods

On a sunny day Scotland is charming. That is the time to go outside and take a wee walk. 

Windy Linlithgow and its cool palace

May 16, 2016October 22, 2020 / Sirri / 2 Comments

The ruin of the Linlithgow Palace is an interesting and fun day trip destination and there is a great Tearoom in the town.

ure, drunk people are always drunk people, but the pub culture in the UK is actually quite nice. And what I have noticed, people in pubs are often cheerful and friendly.

I love visitors

Sometimes I truly am happy for others when they get to travel. Like when they travel to me!

Little things make the difference

February 27, 2016October 22, 2020 / Sirri / Leave a comment

Some things are upside down and illogical in Scotland. They are the differences that make every country and culture feel different from each other.

Winter on Beinn Ghlas

February 19, 2016October 22, 2020 / Sirri / Leave a comment

It is Valentine's Day but I am not planning to fill the day with roses and pink hearts. Instead, I have pair of crampons and an ice axe in my pack back.
