I almost feel as if I am called to go, and maybe live there. Hopefully someday. The map is such a lovely piece to add to one's travel journal, I think. And the pictures, such a wonderful tease.

But so far, Scotland is my favorite place to be in the world. Every corner is filled with quiet simple beauty, wonderful quick-witted, friendly people, and fresh delicious food. Go in the summer, and buy a Highlands wool sweater when you get there! And bring a great book to read as you sit gazing out at the resplendent beauty all around you! Next on my travel wish list is a trip to the Shetland and Orkney Islands. Love your blog Sunday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513695111676289913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-46802869492034529892012-04-07T09:59:58.020-07:002012-04-07T09:59:58.020-07:00A beautifully written piece on Scotland and Connie...A beautifully written piece on Scotland and Connie's map artistry.

I have been on trips that have taken me off the beaten path. Some of the best trips I've experienced. To feel another country and live as the locals, experience everyday life in a foreign country, this is how I love to travel. I am very interested in this map. I'm going to visit Connie and entertain the idea of a map like this. Thanks Taylor.<br />Wishing you a Blessed Easter.<br /><br />~Emily<br />The French HutchThe French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-48607926796611953982012-04-07T09:45:36.500-07:002012-04-07T09:45:36.500-07:00I'm so glad I've inspired you to visit the...I'm so glad I've inspired you to visit the Highlands!

I have visited there several times and love the Borders, Edinburg, Fife, St. Andrews and so much more. It is such a beautiful place, I have never felt as at home anywhere else. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your beautiful map.<br /><br />If you would like to read more about the highlands and part of the whiskey trail, Dii from Yonks went there in December and her photos are incredible.<br /><br />Have a blessed Easter! I hope you will see your children, <br /><br />ElizabethElizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-39166231552042002462012-04-06T16:06:04.700-07:002012-04-06T16:06:04.700-07:00Looks so beautiful and the hiking trip sounds fant...Looks so beautiful and the hiking trip sounds fantastic.
