United Kingdom, Scotland, Scottish Highlands
This article was first published on thus blog in July 2018.
Unlike many others, my Travel Bucket List do not include items like climbing Mount Everest, Skydiving in New Zealand or Scuba Diving the Great Barrier Reef.
The items on my Travel Bucket List are far more humble and mundane. I list places that I have read from books when I was a kid but was too poor to travel then. While I am still not well-off, I can at least still fulfil some of the items in my Travel Bucket List through careful planning and budgeting.
One of the items on my not-so-awesome Travel Bucket List is to travel through the Scottish Highlands. This, I achieved in 2011 when I visited Scotland for the first time. My next Travel Bucket List associated with Scotland is to travel through Scotland by train. I love trains and I love the countryside of Scotland. Combined, such a trip will fulfil not one but two items on my Travel Bucket List in a single trip.

While traveling to Loch Ness, I had the chance to briefly explore the Scottish Highlands. The highlands is a mountainous region north-east of Scotland.

My trip was too brief for me to even scratch the surface of the immense culture and history of this region. Even so, what I experienced during this brief sojourn through the highlands on my way to Loch Ness gave me an insight into the rich cultural and historical significance of the region.
I shall plan and return on a longer trip to explore the region. Until that entry in my travel bucket list is fulfilled, I will always look back at some of the photographs I took during my maiden trip through the highlands and marvel at the magic that he region has to offer.
