My holidays in Scotland
by Tommy
pl

A My mum and I don’t stay at home in the holidays.

e

We love sports, so last year we went to Scotland.

Scotland has lots of mountains and wild countryside,
M

so it is great for outdoor activities. The place we

stayed at is a holiday village called Glencoe Mountain.
at

We went there in the summer and in the winter.

B We drove to Glencoe Mountain in August. There is

er

a campsite there and we put up our tent together at

10 p.m. It wasn’t dark because it gets dark late in
Scotland in the summer. We went cycling on our
ia

mountain bikes for the first two days. We got tired,

but the views were amazing. Then we went hiking
l

and we saw some wild rabbits and a fox.

C We went to Glencoe Mountain again in

December. On the first day, we travelled by coach and
P

the coach got lost on the way! But our holiday was
great. It was sunny all the time, so we didn’t get cold.
ea

My mum and I went skiing every day. Glencoe

Mountain is my favourite place for a holiday. There is
so much to do. You never get bored. What is your

favourite holiday place?
