Our first stop was about an hour in, we were told there was a shop where we had to go for breakfast (we also heard this place had the best pie).... We got there and the name of the cafe was Mohr Bread. I needed no more convincing. The bread looked wonderful, but we were really interested in this pie we had heard so much about... only to find out we had a few definitions of pie. Scotland pie does not contain fruit, chocolate, or sweets. What we found at Mohr bread was shepherds pie, haggis pie, and some more meat filled pies... I had all but given up hope until I saw macaroni and cheese pie. For breakfast? Sold.
** Note the pancakes in the window. They are premade. The same goes for Ireland. They are packaged and sold in stores. I have yet to try them, but they always look good!
After the pie, it was back on bus until our next stop, Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park
The girls in front of Loch Lubnaig

Just Skippin' stones in the Loch
During the bus riding portions of the day our bus driver Duncan gave us background on Scotland and played traditional Scotish music... Most of us slept through a good portion of the morning information... oops. But we all woke up when we reached Glencoe Scottish Highlands. This was by far my favorite part of the day, and here is why...

This is one of my favorite pictures... how amazing would it be to live in that little house?
Or this one... a pond and sheep in the front yard and mountains in the back... rough life huh?
And what pitstop would be complete without a traditional kilt wearing bagpiper?
anddd back on the bus... only to get off again for a quick stop at Inverlochy Castle where the boys apparently turned into a boy band...
And thats enough of that... Loch Ness here we come!
Sof and I pretended we were on man vs. wild in search of Nessie (who I accidentally called Nelly... my bad)
Sadly to say we didn't find her.... So it was back on the bus and back to Edinburgh. Tomorrow we'll be headed back to good ol' Dublin!
Until Tomorrow...
Cheers,
Becca :)
