My Journey Through Scotland

I’ve always dreamed of visiting Scotland, and this year my dream has finally come true. Over the past two weeks, I’ve travelled across the country and seen some of the most breathtaking landscapes I could imagine. I’ve climbed the hills near Edinburgh, walked along the shores of Loch Ness, and even taken a boat trip to see the famous castle ruins of Dunnotar Castle that stand proudly by the water.

Since the beginning of my trip, I’ve met so many friendly people who have shared stories about their lives and traditions. I’ve tried haggis for the first time—it wasn’t as strange as I expected! I’ve also learned a few words in Gaelic, though I haven’t managed to pronounce them correctly yet.

One of the highlights of my journey has been visiting the Isle of Skye. I’ve never seen such dramatic scenery before—the cliffs, waterfalls, and misty hills have made me feel like I’m in another world. I’ve taken hundreds of photos, but none of them seem to capture the true beauty of the place.

Now that my trip is coming to an end, I’ve realized how much I’ve grown as a traveller. I haven’t just discovered new places—I’ve discovered new parts of myself. And yet, there are still so many adventures waiting for me. I haven’t decided where I’ll go next, but I know that I’ve only just begun to explore the world…

Task 2. Skim the text and answer the multiple choice questions about Alex's journey to Scotland.
