I took this picture on a trip to Scotland with my Dad in 2009. Born and raised in Scotland, my Dad moved to the US in his twenties. This was taken in the village of Pennan, a picturesque town where the movie Local Hero was filmed.
Lovely :) One of the many places I'd love to visit one day
ReplyDeleteNice photo. I visited Scotland many years ago, but had not been to Pennan. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I got to spend a few days in Scotland my junior year of college, and I totally fell in love. I'd be thrilled to go back again someday.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place to explore!
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a fabulous trip to take with your father!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you got to take this trip with your dad! That is priceless.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would so love to visit that village! Photos of Scotland and Ireland do make me want to go there.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
It looks lovely. I'm trying to imagine how cool it would be to have a parent with a musical Scottish accent - seems like it would be neat. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful. What a wonderful thing to revisit his birthplace. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/ksE6O
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect picture--boats, water, rolling green hills! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Snapshot.
Oooh! Another place I'd like to visit ... this Saturday Snapshot meme is really playing havoc with my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was so intrigued I looked up Local Hero (my blog is about books and movies) Pennan plays the fictional town of Ferness in the movie and the director, Bill Forsyth, won the BAFTA for Best Direction that year. (1984)
Great photo. I love that film. I used to live in Scotland, so it brings back lots of memories.
ReplyDeletedazzling shot....love the sparkly water♫♪
ReplyDeleteAre they all picturesque in Scotland. I'd love to go to find out for myself. Nice shot. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteSuch a glorious spot, I thought of Doc Martin initially, I'm not surprised that it's been a movie location.

ReplyDeleteI would love to visit there; great photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I'm always to partial to a boat pic!
