I’m Hank—and ever since I first heard the call of the Wight Ravens, I knew I had to follow. What began as a simple hankering for fresh air and Scottish snacks has turned into something much deeper… and stranger.
Join me as I trek through the misty moors, scale towering peaks, and paddle across legendary lochs of the Scottish Highlands. Along the way, I uncover ancient myths whispered in the wind, stumble into eerie folklore, and meet characters as wild and wonderful as the land itself. There are ghostly castles, grumpy sheep, and delicacies that might just bite back.
This isn’t just an adventure—it’s a journey into the heart of something old, mysterious, and a little bit magical. So grab your boots, pack some shortbread, and come along. The Wight Ravens are calling.
It’s time to say goodbye to the lochs, legends, and lofty peaks of Scotland. As Hank crosses the border back into England, he reflects on the unforgettable adventure through the Highlands. From ghostly glens to mountainous magic, it's been a trip to remember—now it’s hello again to Little London (aka Leeds), and the comforts of home.
