My Brother and I decided that touring the Scottish Islands and
Highlands on a motorbike was just about the most fun you can
have in May. The purpose of the trip was not to travel somewhere
and see something in particular, but the journey itself. The
area boasts some of the most rugged and desolate scenery in the
British Isles with tall peaks surrounding enormous lochs and
thick woods covering rolling countryside. It seems that around
every bend on these twisty, narrow roads lies another stunning
view to amaze the onlooker. Our trip took us from Mull, through
Skye up to Ullapool and included some the best that Scotland
has to offer, namely stunning scenery, beautiful roads, fantastic
pub lunches and plenty of places to camp out in the wilds.
