Scotland.  Scotland is vast and rugged, and the people that live there grew up with harsh winters and cool summers. Their ancestors fought to survive. Clan wars were a reality, and you don't have to dig far to hit old blood. Scotland was probably the highlight of my trip, not a single thing could have been better. The land was so beautiful that even some of my amateur photography turned out to be quite impressive. I was there with my sister, so I have someone to share the bond I made to that land with, and overall, I have a set of memories that are only going to get sweeter with time. And a picture of a hairy coo.

Oh and just a little tidbit for you all.  See that castle in the middle of the water (middle row, second from the right)?  Look vaguely familiar? Possibly Monty Pythonish???
