Into the Scottish Heartland

It seems crazy, even to us, but the kids and I "popped" over to Scotland from Norway, where we spent the second week of Abby and Reese's school break.  As we're discovering, it seems as though one can get anywhere in Europe within 1-2 hours by plane, and for a reasonable price.

In the spirit of maximizing our travel while we're on this great, big adventure, I decided to tack on a "side trip" to Scotland, even though Doug had to return to work in Amsterdam. He re-joined us this weekend in Edinburgh but, first, the kids and I headed about an hour north of Edinburgh into the "heartland" of Scotland.

One of my afternoon runs took me straight into the glen . . .
