This was by far my favorite hike I’ve ever done in Rocky Mountain National Park. The hike features Bear Lake, Nymph Lake, and Dream Lake. If I had time I would have gone on to Emerald Lake too! ↟

It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.”

“Ireland is a land of poets and legends, of dreamers and rebels. All of these have music woven through and around them. Tunes for dancing or for weeping, for battle or for love.” - Nora Roberts ↟

📍 Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, Scotland, 2016 ↟
↟

The story behind Holyrood Abbey goes something like, King David, went out hunting during the Feast of the Cross. And after being bucked off his trusty steed, came face to face with a disgruntled stag. ↟
↟
↟
The King noticed a crucifix between the stag’s antlers or a Holy Cross projected just as the stag backed away. Needless to say, the stag didn’t maul the King. Grateful, the King saw this as a purely spiritual event and founded Holyrood Abbey in that very area.

I’ve always been really fascinated by Mary Queen of Scots. Some see her as a murderer and a traitor while others believe she was a courageous martyr. I tend to lean towards the later. If you are also a fan of Mary Queen of Scots you can’t beat The Palace at Holyrood or Holyrood Abbey. ↟
↟
↟
After all, the abbey is where Queen Mary famously married the absolute waste of space Lord Darnley at 22. There is something to be said for the way she followed her heart. And it doesn’t hurt that the ruins of the abbey are stunningly beautiful! ↟
