Scotland Tour: A Fogbow Kicks off our Tour’s Last Day

As my Best of Scotland in 10 Days tour winds down, it strikes me how quickly it’s all gone.  Here are a few memorable photos from late in the tour.

I’ve seen a lot of things for my first time during this tour. One thing I didn’t expect to see was a fogbow. In front of our B&B, a heavy bank of fog obliterated the dramatic island view. Then, suddenly, we all opened our eyes wide as a wonderful band of light arced across the sky. Someone declared, “A fogbow!”

When I shoot a group shot, I don’t want sky. I don’t want trees. And I don’t want feet. I want faces. These are the people with whom I shared a trip I’ll never forget. Holding my camera high, I can maximize the density of happy faces.

  1. Ah, Stirling, my favorite castle in Scotland. Great views, great history, wonderful buildings. It looks like you all had a wonderful time.

  2. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures, you all look like you are having a great time. I cant wait to go. Safe travels and peace to you all.

  3. Rick, I am certain you thanked everyone sincerely for their investment in your business. It is a rare opportunity for you to actually thank the individuals personally for spending their limited funds with your travel company. I have always felt it to be a very good trade-off myself. KK

  4. Rick,

    I’ve really enjoyed reading your descriptive Blog entries on the Scotland tour. That’s a tour I’m considering (perhaps next year) and you’ve given me lots to look forward to.

  5. Looks like so much fun! I am sure they all had such a memorable trip with your energy as an added part.

  6. Rick,
    Your Scotland Tour Blog brought back very fond memories of my Rick Steve’s Scotland Tour in 2011. I wanted a
    puppy too and as a history teacher I was mesmerized walking alone on the battlefield at Culloden. I went as a single but never felt alone with a group of friendly travelers. My Scotland trip was truly outstanding. I want to travel to Normandy next. Thanks!
    Gail
