Possibly the most beautiful country in the World.
I've lived in Scotland, on and off (mostly on) since 1998. It genuinely does feel like home after all this time, even though I miss South Africa chronically at times.
It's hard to put into words just how beautiful Scotland is, but it has been voted in the top 10 most beautiful countries in the world, more than once!

The Southern regions are pretty flat, but heading north, once you pass Glasgow & Edinburgh, the terrain changes dramatically; rolling hills become the Cairngorm Mountain range, pocketed with Lochs and Glens, with scenic little villages and towns hidden throughout.
The train journey from Edinburgh (or Glasgow) up to Inverness is one of the most scenic you will ever take.
But Scotland isn't just about nature and countryside; It's also the home of golf, with over 550 courses available.
I've played at a few of these, and I can say with certainty that some of the best are probably the ones you've never heard of before, and that won't make it to the front page of Golfers Monthly!
I'm lucky enough to have lived all over Scotland, from 6 months in Edinburgh back in 2009, to 5 years in Ullapool, and a few spots in between such as Pitlochry, Kinloch Rannoch, and the Isle of Mull. Aberdeen has been home since 2013. Please read about my travels in this most amazing of lands through the links above.
