365 True Things: 326/Travel (Scotland)

In 2010 I traveled to Scotland, including the Orkney and Shetland Islands, with a small group of photographers led by night photographer Lance Keimig and his Scots colleague Sam Gardner. It was a wonderful trip, but alas, due to the lack of a map, I have very little idea of where I actually was. Fortunately, I was diligent at the time and attached captions to some of the photos I took and posted on Flickr. Here's a random sample of that magical place, in no real order.
