Scotland

Scotland had been a country on my bucket list for SO long and with Outlander being one of my favorite TV shows, it was time I finally made the trip. What made it so special was my mom came with me and it was her first time visiting Europe! We had the absolute best time exploring Scotland and made some pretty amazing memories. We spent a total of 6 days here but it didn’t feel like enough. I definitely need to go back and explore more. We were based in Edinburgh and had a rental car, which in my opinion is a total necessity.
