When you hear the word “island feeling”, many of you will surely think of white sandy beaches, palm trees and turquoise sea, the South Seas, the Maldives, the Seychelles or – not quite so far-fetched – the Balearic Islands. But Memo<\/a> takes us to a completely different corner of this earth, to an island that many of you probably don’t have on your mind when you hear the term island feeling: Great Britain. <\/p>\n

With Inverness<\/a> and Sherwood<\/a>, Scotland and the East Midlands are our destination today. So you can mentally unpack the bathing suits again. No lovely South Sea flair or tangy Mediterranean vibes, but the sometimes harsh climate of the British Isle is on our agenda.<\/p>\n\n

Inverness – Scotland’s Highlands<\/h2>\n\n

The city of Inverness is located not far from the famous Loch Ness lake in the Scottish Highlands. The city, which is now home to around 50,000 people, is as steeped in history as the water itself. Numerous wars, battles and feuds took place in and around Inverness, whether caused by one or more of the numerous clans or otherwise induced. A rather cruel as well as eventful time Inverness looks back on. Besides the mysterious Loch Ness, the castle of Inverness, where none other than the legendary Macbeth ruled over his people, is also remarkable. Not quite as bloodthirsty as in William Shakespeare’s play of the same name, but the real Macbeth was certainly not an innocent lamb either.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Even the name is enticing and dreamy: Inverness. A land of peat, heather and golden rain, beyond the senses, capital of the Highlands, the largest region of Scotland. Nature unfolds freely, untouched, extraordinary, and the river Ness meanders mysteriously. From this endless green and invigorating realm rise scents of various woods, each more captivating and fragrant than the other.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
