Chocolate. #TheBestHotChocolate.
Northwest Highlands of Scotland. August 18, 2018. Blog post.
I am Swiss. From Switzerland. 😉
I know that was done twice, and seriously – I am Swiss – do you really want to teach me about good chocolate? Or even about #TheBestHotChocolate 😉 – you know, Switzerland is one of those leading chocolate nations in the world … ?
This blog post answers the question, if a Swiss chocolate lover can survive more than 10 days in Scotland.

Where Time stands still
Garvault House – “Mainland Britain’s Most Remote Hotel” – considering that my day started at 2 a.m. (!) driving from Ehrendingen (near Zurich) to Basel Mulhouse EuroAirport – from there flying to Edinburgh, where I picked up my rental car after my arrival – it was still before 6 a.m., even before breakfast time (!) – then starting to the long drive from Edinburgh to the North, passing Inverness following the A9 road (Scotland), then following the North Eastern coast of Ross-shire and Sutherland, and finally the slowing down on the almost endless and narrow roads (A897 and B871) across the remote backcountry of the Scottish Highlands – well – considering this never ending journey – the Garvault House certainly is “Mainland Britain’s Most Remote Hotel”. Not only Britain’s … in my opinion 😉
Looking for the Wulver
I’ve heard a lot of the famous Wulver (Sea-Wolf) living in the Scottish Highlands. “Wolfburn’s (remark: a whisky distillery in Thurso) motif depicts a creature found in both Scots and Norse mythology. According to ancient lore, the sea-wolf ‘did liveth both on sea and land.’ Walking on water is not its only gift: the sea-wolf also brings good luck to all those fortunate enough to see it.” (Source: Wolfburn whisky distillery in Thurso, ‘the most northerly whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland’).
Does this old famous creature really exist?
I wanted to find out and travelled to the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.
Bier. Träume. Tipps?
Zugegeben, es hat 53 Jahre gedauert. Streng genommen eigentlich 35 Jahre, nämlich seit meinem 18. Lebensjahr.
Und es ist auch nur deshalb geschehen, weil ich mir ständig die Frage ‘Warum nicht?’ stelle, und nicht ‘Warum?’.

Hinauf an die Sonne.
Hinauf zu den Hirschen.
Hinauf ins Lairig Eilde.
Der Verkäufer im Store in Village of Glencoe lächelt nur mitleidig milde, als ich ihn nach dem Wetter frage. Ob es besser wird? Heute? Kopfschüttelnd meint er: “That’s Scotland.”
