We only had the car for 1/2 hour before it broke down completely.

Lots of hiking and walking through the Cairngorms and the western Highlands. Driving the NC500 was well worth the time and driving. As a Canadian, I was not expecting the vast open spaces and wilderness of Scotland. It's spectacular. The single-track roads are an adventure in themselves.
