Scotland's Islands

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | We'll begin on the tranquil Isle of Iona, where Christianity first reached the shores of Scotland. Then we'll visit another of the Inner Hebrides, road-tripping across the Isle of Skye, where we'll explore Iron Age forts, peat fields, a venerable distillery, thatched crofter huts, and the dramatic Trotternish Peninsula. Finally, we'll sail to Orkney - more Nordic than Celtic - with its stony remnants of a thriving Iron Age civilization and evocative reminders of the 20th-century wartime harbor at Scapa Flow. Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #scotland

The Scottish people were so welcoming to us and I kid you not, after meeting these great people, I came home trying to be a better person! Scotland is so beautiful and their seafood is the best I've ever had.Going back with my wife next year! If I could live there, I would! I'm so proud to be a Scot in my heart!!

    @@Beh0ldas0n I’m going to sound as if I’m being really picky…but, keep in mind that a female doing a genealogical dna test, only gives the mitochondrial dna, which means that 25% of the dna you got from your female ancestors, is Scottish. Your total could be higher or lower. I say this as a Scot born and raised, who did one of these dna tests and discovered the 100% of my mitochondrial dna is from the British Isles, with almost 3/4 being Scottish and Irish. Which totally fits as one of my grandparents was English but from a town on the English/Welsh border and it had historically belonged to both countries. Sorry, I rambled a bit there. 😊

Permitted to scavenge materials in their free time, what did they do? Created extraordinary art from scraps. Imagine the fortitude to live under such duress and from that, create such beauty.

    We are the military family lived in Scotland two (2) years, my son was born there. The Scottish people are the nicest and the friendliest people of north we love them right back. I do remember some of the sights that we saw, I remember the castle of Mary Queen of Scots. and some other sights. But I also remember we had neighbor she was British I believe her name was Maureen or Sherle, I know her husband's name was Scott. we both had boys on the very same day. I often wonders where all these friends are. But I did ran into one a years later in some ambassy gathering in Washington DC. and we lost contact again. Scotland is a very pretty country but cold as I said but it's people are amazing, Not the British but Scottish..

    Had my first visit to Skye last year, it was a nine hour drive but we couldn't do much of our planned hiking because of a foot injury - beautiful place though, and the fact we missed so much last time means we've got a great excuse to return (as if any were needed!). I love watching Rick's Europe videos, but for some reason I'm particularly drawn to his UK-based ones - its always interesting to see your own country from someone else's perspective, and he really does a great job of showcasing the best we have to offer.

    As a professional musician I study and teach folk songs as part of my curriculum. The Isle of Skye has many folk songs that I use. Now I understand why! Also, my paternal grandmother’s first name was Iona. Her mother had read about the island and thought that it was a lovely name.
