Anja and I had already had our coffee at the apartment, but none of us felt like staying there a minute longer. You know the feeling: there\u2019s another journey ahead, new views, a new adventure, and our final stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glasgow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That day also marked our farewell to the Highlands. After Edinburgh, they had grown on us more and more with each passing day. First came the train journey across the Scottish Highlands to Inverness, then Loch Ness and the route through the Great Glen between lochs and mountains, followed by Fort William, Ben Nevis and that viaduct, which had been one of the main reasons we came here in the first place. And, of course, our boat trip on Loch Linnhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over those few days, we had experienced the Highlands in all sorts of ways: from trains and buses, from a boat, and above all on foot. Lochs, valleys, mountains and small towns, with miles of countryside in between where there seemed to be almost nothing at all, apart from the views that made the journey all the more beautiful and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With plenty of time to spare at the station, I went to see one last thing in Fort William. Practically across the road lie the remains of the old fort that gave the town its present-day name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full scotland-frame\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" data-attachment-id=\"9421\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/odpotuj.com\/en\/2026\/09\/12\/fort-william-glasgow-vlak-skotska\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?fit=1672%2C941&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1672,941\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?fit=1672%2C941&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?resize=676%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ostanki stare utrdbe Fort William ob vzno\u017eju \u0160kotskega vi\u0161avja.\" class=\"wp-image-9421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?w=1672&amp;ssl=1 1672w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?resize=676%2C380&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fort-william-stara-utrdba-highlands.png?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not much of it remains today, just a few stone ruins scattered across a grassy field. The fort was built in a strategic position on the shores of Loch Linnhe, at the entrance to the Great Glen, from where one of the main routes through the Scottish Highlands could be controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That route through the Highlands still exists today, although its purpose is rather different. This is where the Great Glen Way begins, or ends, a walking trail of just under 120 kilometres between Fort William and Inverness.<strong> <\/strong>It follows almost the same route we had travelled over the previous few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of people walk it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We weren\u2019t quite so enthusiastic about that idea, so we covered the distance in considerably more comfort. By bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I made my way back towards the station, I spotted something across the road that had apparently also recognised Fort William\u2019s strategic location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opposite the ruins of the old fort stands a McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full scotland-frame\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" data-attachment-id=\"9422\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/odpotuj.com\/en\/2026\/09\/12\/fort-william-glasgow-vlak-skotska\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?fit=1672%2C941&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1672,941\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?fit=1672%2C941&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?resize=676%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald's nasproti ostankov stare utrdbe v Fort Williamu, s \u0160kotskim vi\u0161avjem v ozadju.\" class=\"wp-image-9422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?w=1672&amp;ssl=1 1672w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?resize=676%2C380&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mcdonalds-fort-william-skotsko-visavje.png?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">By Train Through the Highlands, Volume 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here in Scotland, train tickets are something you need to think about in advance, even outside the peak season.

Back then, the train had arrived with fewer carriages than planned, which meant that our reserved seats simply didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we took whatever individual seats were still available. Each of us somewhere on our own, as if we weren\u2019t a family at all but had had a massive argument just before getting on the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We survived that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And not only that. Despite everything, the journey itself was beautiful, mainly because of the scenery passing by outside the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, everything was exactly as it should be. Our carriage existed, and so did our seats. This time, we even had a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after leaving Fort William, it becomes clear just how little it takes to find yourself back in the middle of nowhere in this part of Scotland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town disappears behind us, with the occasional isolated house here and there, and then there is nothing but nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every now and then, a stream cuts through the landscape, forests alternate with open hillsides along the railway, while water stays with us almost constantly on our right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns scotland-frame is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849

The journey from Edinburgh to Inverness gets a straight five out of five from me. Maybe partly because it was the first, and we had no idea what to expect. This time, we at least had some idea of what lay ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t get me wrong, this journey wasn\u2019t bad either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A solid four out of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps a little unfair, because the scenery here was beautiful too. But the first one was just that. The first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you never forget your first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Welcome to Glasgow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what was our final stop before flying home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glasgow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scotland\u2019s largest city. Just like Edinburgh, there\u2019s stone everywhere, broad streets and imposing old buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But something felt different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edinburgh had a certain elegance that you noticed almost immediately. I didn\u2019t get that same feeling in Glasgow. It seemed harder, rougher around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be fair, I hadn\u2019t expected much from the city. It had made it into our itinerary mainly because it made far more sense logistically as our final stop than travelling all the way back to Edinburgh from Fort William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what do they say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never judge a book by its cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, though, we had to get to our hotel. After more than three hours on the train, none of us felt like walking through the city with our backpacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uber. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We didn\u2019t last long at the hotel either. Our stomachs had other ideas. So, back into the city centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the first few steps, you realise that Glasgow is anything but flat. The streets are constantly rising and falling, and hills are simply part of everyday life here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns scotland-frame is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"1201\" data-attachment-id=\"9465\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/odpotuj.com\/en\/2026\/09\/12\/fort-william-glasgow-vlak-skotska\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,1672\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?resize=676%2C1201&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pogled po \u0161iroki ulici skozi sredi\u0161\u010de Glasgowa med zna\u010dilnimi kamnitimi stavbami.\" class=\"wp-image-9465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?resize=864%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?resize=7%2C12&amp;ssl=1 7w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ulica-sredisce-glasgowa-skotska.png?resize=562%2C999&amp;ssl=1 562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"1201\" data-attachment-id=\"9466\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/odpotuj.com\/en\/2026\/09\/12\/fort-william-glasgow-vlak-skotska\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,1672\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?resize=676%2C1201&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Strma ulica v sredi\u0161\u010du Glasgowa s prometom in zgodovinskimi kamnitimi stavbami.\" class=\"wp-image-9466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?resize=864%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?resize=7%2C12&amp;ssl=1 7w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/strma-ulica-glasgow-skotska.png?resize=562%2C999&amp;ssl=1 562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few days surrounded by lochs, hills and small towns, we suddenly found ourselves back in the middle of a big city.

You look left, you look right, and then, just to be safe, you look left again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the streets were one-way anyway, but at every junction you still found yourself wondering which direction the next car was going to come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Well, Let\u2019s Just Go to McDonald\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were slowly making our way towards the city centre, still keeping an eye out for somewhere to eat along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At one point, we passed a rather interesting statue. Standing in the middle of the city is a bronze firefighter in full protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statue is dedicated to firefighters from Glasgow and the surrounding area. It was unveiled in 2001, and later that same year it also became a place of remembrance for the firefighters who lost their lives in the attacks in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a coincidence.

On horseback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, but that\u2019s not what makes him famous in Glasgow.

The city authorities kept removing them, only for new ones to appear. Eventually, they gave up, and the cone became part of Wellington, and part of Glasgow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were there, though, apparently Wellington alone wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His horse had a cone too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full scotland-frame\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"1201\" data-attachment-id=\"9493\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/odpotuj.com\/en\/2026\/09\/12\/fort-william-glasgow-vlak-skotska\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,1672\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?fit=941%2C1672&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?resize=676%2C1201&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kip vojvode Wellingtonskega in njegovega konja s prometnimi sto\u017eci v Glasgowu.\" class=\"wp-image-9493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?resize=864%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?resize=7%2C12&amp;ssl=1 7w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odpotuj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kip-wellington-stozec-glasgow.png?resize=562%2C999&amp;ssl=1 562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t imagine something like this playing out quite the same way back home in Slovenia.\n\nI don\u2019t think it would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That probably says something about the people here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Why Do They Actually Drive on the Left?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day was slowly turning into evening, the wind was still blowing hard, and all the travelling had finally started to catch up with us. We didn\u2019t feel like walking any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sat in the front passenger seat. On the right-hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there it was again. Cars coming from the wrong direction, turns being made onto the wrong side of the road, and even after all those days in Scotland, I still hadn\u2019t got used to them driving on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why do they drive on the left anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That evening, I couldn\u2019t quite let it go, so I did a little digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it turned out that we\u2019re actually the strange ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, historically speaking, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common explanations goes back to the days of horses, riders and swords. Since most people were right-handed, they kept to the left side of the road. That way, their right hand faced whoever was approaching from the opposite direction. If that person\u2019s intentions weren\u2019t exactly friendly, your hand was right where you needed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On your sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, perhaps on your pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, perhaps on your pistol.\n\nToday? I don\u2019t know.
