A cold, clear morning in Edinburgh: the coach eases out past the Burns Monument while the city slides behind. Within an hour the capital’s stone gives way to low moorland and the landscape opens—metal Kelpies rise like mechanical horses at a canal mouth, Loch Lomond’s broad water dares you to look away, and the hills of the Arrochar Alps crowd the horizon.
