Saturday Snapshot - October 6, 2012

Alyce of At Home with Books hosts Saturday Snapshot and asks participants to post any photo (just no random photos you found online). Stop by and see what others have posted!

 
 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.

  3. Beautiful 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.

  7. 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. :)

  10. Oooh! Another place I'd like to visit ... this Saturday Snapshot meme is really playing havoc with my bucket list.
    By 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)

  14. Such a glorious spot, I thought of Doc Martin initially, I'm not surprised that it's been a movie location.
