A gray Scottish morning lifts off Edinburgh’s stone rooftops as the coach slips onto the A90 and the city gives way to rolling farmland. Windows frame long glens and rivers that dare you to follow them; by midday the Kelpies loom beside the road, steel horses that mark the edge of the lowlands and a gateway to Highland country.
