16-Day England and Scotland Tour: Island Road Trip.

We were very lucky with the weather on our trip to the UK at the end of June. The weather was sunny with blue skies and white clouds, and there was no sign of the gloomy weather the UK is known for. We chose to stay in historic buildings to experience the most glorious era of the British Empire.
