    Mum and I used to watch Rick Steves religiously. Seeing the beautiful sights, hearing the stories, and talking about travels helped distract her from the pain of cancer and treatment.

    My daughter and I went to Scotland in 2017 to see my Grandfathers house. We also visited two churches that distance grandfathers had built and are still being used today! 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!! All the best from California

      Wow sweet family history you have. I recently learned I'm 25% Scottish from a dna test my little sister took. Makes so much sense based on my personality and taste in music and drink. Hoping one day to go visit and explore Scotland and maybe learn about my past ancestors. Thanks for sharing God bless from California ❤️✌🏽

      @@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. 😊

I've seen countless numbers of your travel guides and each one of them gets to the heart of wherever you are. Thank you.

    That story about the Italian prisoners of war was truly inspiring. Consider their situation: POWs in a world war, living in the enemy’s camp. 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.

      It seems it's a matter of vaccination. I suspect by end of 2021 there'll be massively scaled vaccine production, especially mRNA vaccines. Best wishes to your family and friends. It'll be okay. We all will be so grateful to be around each other again. I miss all the strangers out and about - never realized how nice it is to have their company.
      Also, we're living through what will be a transformative time in world history. I hope many will be humbled by what we've gone through! Safe travels- soon!

    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.

      @@johngr9963 England is definitely not better. There's a few nice landscapes like the Lake District but for the most part it's flat and boring. Scotland is rightly turning against tourism since it's ruining places for the locals, just go to Skye and you'll see coachfulls of people crowding Portree meaning locals can't do anything.

    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..
