SCOTLAND

Visiting the Homeland for the First Time

For our 10th anniversary, Kayleen and I traveled to Scotland — a special trip inspired by our shared Scottish heritage (and the nearby Wimbledon tournament in London). From historic castles and ancient ruins to misty lochs and rolling landscapes, the country welcomed us with its timeless beauty and rich history.

This gallery features peaceful views of Loch Katrine, the imposing grandeur of Edinburgh Castle, the Allan Ramsay statue standing proudly in front of the castle, a peculiar ceiling shot inside the historic Hamilton Mausoleum, the atmospheric ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, and scenes of the Scottish countryside.

These photographs capture the romance, history, and natural charm that made our anniversary journey through Scotland so memorable. A true celebration of roots, landscapes, and shared adventures.
