For our honeymoon, we decided to spend a week travelling around Scotland. I had been before, and fallen in love with the beautiful countryside there. My great grandmother was Scottish and I wanted to share that part of my heritage with Nico too. He also has a little whisky hobby so he was happy to travel there with me and visit Oban distillery.
Also, I sponsored a penguin at Edinburgh zoo as my wedding present to Nico so it was a great chance to go and visit the little guy!

As you can see, we had an amazing week and generally, we were lucky with the weather. We are excited to go back at some point and next time, directly to the highlands which were our favourite part.
