Last year, my husband and I took a ten day road trip through Scotland. We became hooked. Through all my travels, the city of Edinburgh in particular is one that stands out to me, and might even be my favorite city in all of Europe! I'm in love with it. I knew we had to return.

During our recent family road trip through the UK (starting in London, heading to Wales, and ending in Scotland), we spent some time in the stunning Scottish highlands of Glencoe.
