    Cool North Coast 500

    This is what you can expect when you make it to the Highlands. That is of course when it's not snowing or raining!

    Next time you show us a wonderful picture of the highlands we will expect your F6B to be in the back ground. Maybe after the spring snow goes away!

    My Grandfather was from Edinburgh Scotland. He came over hear after serving in the Navy over there during world war 1. Had quite a Scottish brogue. Retire from Kellogg's after 40 years, every one called him Scotty. He always said how pretty Scotland was. I still have family over there, but have never met them. It is certainly on my bucket list to some day go over there.

    My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
    My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer -
    A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
    My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

    Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
    The birth place of Valour, the country of Worth;
    Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
    The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

    Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow;
    Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
    Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods;
    Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.



    My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
    My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
    My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.

    I can only vouch for the places I have lived in the UK and Ireland. The further north of England you go the more beautiful and wild it becomes. I lived in Yorkshire for two years when my regiment was the Training Regiment, it's a beautiful place with amazing bike roads. Cumbria is also very beautiful with amazing roads. Of course The Highlands has everything you could want, as long as you don't mind all four seasons in one day. Ireland is the same, Southern Ireland has a whole new road structure, but lots of narrow country roads are still to be had.
