The sides of the Fairy Pool are adorned with beautiful purple flowers, which are breathtakingly beautiful. These flowers surround the narrow and winding Fairy Pool, becoming part of the romantic atmosphere of the Fairy Pool. When the sky is clear, sunlight shines through the clouds and falls on the Isle of Skye, blending with the mountains, hills, rivers, and coastline to create a stunning and colorful scenery. Many quiet and charming villages can be found on the island, scattered between the sunlight and the mist, emanating a primitive and wild beauty. The 2.4-kilometer trail around the Fairy Pool is one of the best hiking routes and takes over an hour to complete on foot.

"Nevis" in English means "cloud-covered mountain". This mountain is covered in snow all year round and is surrounded by clouds and mist, with a unique shape. The main peak of Nevis reaches 1343 meters and is the highest mountain in England. The south slope is relatively flat, while the northeast slope is steep. The snow on the summit never melts and covers an area of about 40 hectares, with a meteorological research station set up there. The key scene of the "Triwizard Tournament" in the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was filmed here. If you want to hike or climb, Nevis is an excellent choice. It is worth noting that the mountains in the Highlands are different from those in other countries, and there may not be complete markers or any places selling food and water. You need to bring your own snacks and navigation tools to ensure safety. At the visitor center, you can get detailed maps and recommended routes.

Loch Lomond is located on the Highland Boundary Fault in Scotland and is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Great Britain. The surface area of the lake is 71km2, with a water capacity of 2.6km3. Its deepest point reaches 190 meters (620 feet), with an average depth of 37 meters (121 feet). The lake is 39 kilometers (24 miles) long and varies in width from 1.21 kilometers (0.75 miles) to 8 kilometers (5.0 miles). The largest freshwater island in the British Isles, Inchmurrin Island, is located in the center of the lake. Ben Lomond, which is 974 meters high, is located on the eastern shore of the lake. Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park cover the same area. According to a public opinion poll, Loch Lomond ranks sixth in the list of the greatest natural wonders in the UK. There are more than 30 islands in the lake, and the number of islands is affected by changes in water levels. Travel writer Henry W.W. Morton believed that the most beautiful part of Loch Lomond is its green islands. Besides Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, Loch Lomond is the second largest lake in the UK in terms of area.

Trinity College is one of the oldest universities in Ireland, founded in the 16th century. Its predecessor was an Augustinian monastery and was once managed by the Church. The college was originally a men's college, with the first female student being admitted in 1904. Trinity College has produced multiple Nobel laureates. The campus is located in the heart of Dublin, with beautiful and tranquil surroundings. On campus, you can see the magnificent Book of Kells, a meticulously crafted manuscript created around 850 AD by monks using natural pigments on vellum. The book is divided into four volumes, and two volumes are exhibited on campus—one with text and the other with illustrations. Only two pages are displayed each day. In addition, the architectural style of the Old Library is stunning and has been featured as the magical library in the Harry Potter movies. It is definitely worth exploring.
