As summer was approaching, my friend Shamila and I planned our annual “girls’ vacation”. Each year we would pick a new location to explore, and this time around we we had our hearts set on Scotland.

Of course, the first thing that comes anyone’s mind when they think of Scotland is its picturesque highlands, old cities and the movie Braveheart. But there are other things to check out in the country, like Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain. Standing at 1,369m, it may not be in the same league as the Seven Summits of the world, but it still is the pride of the country.
