With each visit she would fall a little deeper in love, bewitched by the fact that no two trips are ever the same. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ensconced in a remote loch-side cottage that New Year's Eve, Sally and her friends were astonished when the tradition of first footing they had read about was upheld, and a trio of jovial locals appeared (seemingly from nowhere) bearing gifts, including a lump of coal and the obligatory wee dram. Since then she's been disarmed by the warmth of Scottish people everywhere she's gone, from the folk pubs of Edinburgh to the shores of Loch Lomond. Her travels have taken her to the wilds of Skye and by seaplane to Oban. She's mastered single-track roads and learned what it really means to be cold. \u003cp\u003e Born in London to Irish parents, Sally has spent the past decade writing about British travel. She is the editor of both \u003ci\u003eScotland\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDiscover Britain\u003c\/i\u003e magazines and has written for national newspapers, glossy travel magazines and websites about Scotland. She is also the author of \u003ci\u003eMoon Edinburgh, Glasgow \u0026amp; the Isle of Skye\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Moon Travel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50894579499282,"sku":"9798886470581","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8ebff45f-a4e6-417f-b7cc-c4b2570c46bc.jpg?v=1738254226","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/moon-scotland-highland-road-trips-outdoor-adventures-pubs-castles-9798886470581","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
