While many people think of the Alps as the supreme highland of Europe, Scandinavia as the best in empty landscapes, Scotland is a region often forgotten. Strangely so, because it boasts high mountains where you can go skiing, endless rolling hills, lakes, and woods with walking trails perfectly fit for hiking. I was lucky enough to be there in autumn, when the mountains already had a white cap, when the autumn colours set the landscape on fire, and when the skies were of a unique brilliance.
Admittedly, Scotland attracts a lot of rain. This is, however, also its attraction. Somehow, it seemed that the clouds and occasional rain I saw were necessary ingredients for the landscape. During my visit, there were moments when the sunlight was filtered through the clouds, illuminating the landscape in a spectacular way. Then, after a rain shower, the sun came through the clouds, causing a magnificent rainbow below, in the middle of the landscape.
Autumn gives the Scottish landscape a special touch. Obviously, the many trees change colour. With many different types of trees, the landscape is also coloured in different shades of red, orange, brown, yellow and green. This makes that the landscape is always fascinating, the multicoloured trees forming a formidable frame for the rest of the landscape. A lonely castle built in large, grey stones, on the shore of a lake, surrounded by trees and dwarfed by hills rising behind it, makes you stand still in awe.
