Driving Alba was a Summer road trip adventure driving across Scotland from Inverness in the Highlands and zig-zagging southward to the Scottish capital Edinburgh, with obligatory stops at the mythical Loch Ness and the summit of Ben Nevis - Scotland's iconic mountain and the highest in the United Kingdom.
This was a city break to Glasgow, Scotland's masculine second city. Glasgow is characterised by heavy, uncompromising buildings as rugged and solid as any Scottish mountain. A saunter along the River Clyde doubles as a material journey from granite to metallic with a series of modern silvery constructions.
This was a three-day trip around the Scottish Highlands & Islands. I set off of my own to join sixteen strangers in a little white tour van driven by Tim, a very friendly and very patriotic Scottish guide. This was a journey punctuated by incredible viaducts, spectacular landscapes, hairy cows and men in skirts.
