One of our favorite guest contributors, Debi Lander from ByLanderSea, has been regaling us with quite a few stories of her recent adventures exploring Scotland. Today, she’s back to take us way off-the-beaten-path on a day trip to the Orkney Islands.

Slow travel allows for unplanned adventures and that is what Judy, my travel buddy and I found in Inverness, Scotland.
