Writer's Block: Cool places

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Uig, Isle of Skye, Scotland. For the landscape (steep and mossy, on a sea bay) and the climate (cool and foggy), and the random ancient standing stones everywhere, noted mostly by sheep. If I ever wanted to live in another remote rural town with a 3-digit population (grew up in one, so I'm pretty totally over it as a romantic concept), I wouldn't settle for anywhere but this one.
