I’ve been fortunate to have been all over the U.S. and I love my beautiful country. So don’t take this the wrong way when I say that I long to go back to Scotland. The first time I went I had not read Outlander<\/em> or seen Braveheart<\/em>, so when I say I love Scotland, it’s for the country and people, not a fantasy from books or a movie. (Although, I wouldn’t say no to meeting Jamie!)<\/p>\n

I’ve been in Scotland a few times\u2014the last time on a 9-day trip with my college roommate over a good bit of the highlands and Skye. I always \"\"thought that if I could afford it, I’d rent a cottage in the moors around Inverness and spend a summer writing. That’s my fantasy vacation! It hasn’t come about but I fill my fantasies by reading books in Scottish settings.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit that I kinda believe in reincarnation, and the first time I exited the \"Isletrain in Waverley Station in Edinburgh I felt as though I’d come home. Maybe I’d lived there before. The city called to me. I wandered at will and had a great time and met some fantastic people. I also loved the area around Loch Ness (so beautiful!), and Stirling and Balquhidder are gorgeous. Skye had light like I’d never seen, and I could spend a week there just looking out over the sea.<\/p>\n

You can see right now that I’m lusting for the place. Maybe someday I’ll get \"Piper\"back there again. I haven’t given up hope!<\/p>\n
