Panorama from near the top of Ben A’an. It was a scorcher out and by the time I got to the top I was exhausted, dehydrated, and out of water. Thankfully a kind Australian woman noticed I looked “like I was having a bad time” and offered me one of her extra water bottles. Total savior

A delicious Scottish breakfast, courtesy of my friendly guesthouse owner Andy. Unfortunately missing black pudding but still extra tasty
Day 3: Driving to Pitlochry

My trusty ride rental car. Driving on the left side of the road took a lot of getting used to on the first day, as did all the roundabouts. But, by the second day, I adjusted and it was smooth cruising the rest of the way
