Today’s Friday Travel Photo takes you Loch Ness in Scotland’s Highlands. Loch Ness is 23 miles long and 755 feet deep at its deepest point – so deep, that all the water in England and Wales would still not be enough to fill it.
If you’re visiting Edinburgh, consider getting out of the city on a day tour to Loch Ness.

Istanbul marked the end of my interrail journey throughout Europe back in 2008. I fell in love with Turkey, the people, the raki, and the tavla (backgammon). Whenever I look through my pictures of Istanbul, I yearn to go back.
Someday, I will. For now, enjoy this sunset over the Istanbul Harbor which I snapped from the balcony of a Sultanahmet hostel.
I would love to feature your travel photo on Backpackingmatt’s Friday Travel Photo series. Send us an email to matt (at) backpackingmatt (dot) com if you’re interested.
Today’s Friday Travel Photo takes you to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Edinburgh is a fantastic city filled with cozy pubs, excellent gardens, and some great nightlife. If you’re visiting Edinburgh, don’t miss out on these three pubs – they’re excellent places to grab a pint or a plate of Scotland’s national dish: haggis.
If you have a bit of time, consider heading out of town on a day trip to Loch Ness.

This shot was taken in New Zealand’s Marlborough wine region on the South Island. It’s one of New Zealand’s warmest areas and competes with Nelson for seeing the most hours of sunshine each year.
Marlborough is an excellent place to spend the day. Hire a bike or find a designated driver and spend the day tasting some excellent Sauvignon Blancs from the many wineries in the area. Some say that tasting a Marlborough Sav is a life changing experience … I’d probably agree. Read about my day experiencing the wines of Marlborough here.
