Writing these entries at nightfall is like <strong>a rest and sometimes also a treat for the eyes<\/strong>, as is the case of the video that I bring you today, which was published a few days ago by the channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@cinematiclab2568\/featured\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cinematic Lab<\/a>, which <strong>has been publishing beautiful videos of landscapes recorded in different countries<\/strong> for two years but currently only has 359 subscribers (one of them is me).<\/p>\n<p>His penultimate video is a <strong>two-minute tour of the Scottish Highlands<\/strong>, with some very beautiful images and a very pleasant narration. Inexplicably, <strong>this fabulous video has only 33 views in 4 days<\/strong>. It is not fair that something like this has so little diffusion and that at the same time so many rubbish videos have a colossal audience. So <strong>I encourage you to take a break and watch it<\/strong>, if only so that such beautiful things continue to be published with which we can enjoy a pleasant time:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"An Amazing Trip Through the Scottish Highlands | SCOTLAND 4K\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g2mvrh5UgGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can see some screenshots from the video here, with some notes on what we see in it. I'll start by saying that <strong>the image at the top of this post shows Eilean Donan Castle, on the shores of Loch Ness<\/strong>. It is a 13th century castle that was destroyed during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1719, and was rebuilt and restored between 1913 and 1932.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Below these lines we see Loch Shiel,<\/strong> with the West Highland Line on the left, a railway line that runs through the Scottish Highlands and is very popular with tourists, largely after its appearance in the Harry Potter films.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54297735760_cec2e73fa8_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This image will also be familiar to fans of the Harry Potter films: it is <strong>the Glenfinnan Viaduct, in the Inverness shire<\/strong>. It is next to Loch Shiel and is the site of the West Highland Line, which has appeared in all the films of the series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54297735725_f0e5b98e98_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The beautiful valley of Glen Coe<\/strong>. To the left we see the River Coe and to the right the A82, considered by many to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundless.co.uk\/news-competitions\/motoring\/britains-best-road-trip-glen-coe\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the most beautiful road in the United Kingdom<\/a> for its spectacular scenery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54297544644_ca5cc80d9e_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, here we see <strong>the Quiraing, a beautiful place on the Isle of Skye<\/strong>, in the northwest of Scotland.
