What a great day!
Today Anna and I (and the family) drove up the west coast of Scotland to Inverness. On the way we stopped at Glencoe, and Urquhart, and a couple other places. The Highlands are so beautiful, you may be able to get a small idea of them from our pictures.
Tonight we had a great meal and then Anna, Ella and I went to a local pub and watched a Scottish band.
Good times had by all.
Today the family set out for Edinburgh. This is a pic of Anna and I on the classic tour bus. I loved this city. Small and beautiful, old and brilliant.
Most of my Edinburgh pictures are not uploading from this Wifi so sorry for the shortage of pics. Plus Anna took my camera in the afternoon and I wasn’t able to show you some of the amazing sites.
I spent some of my free time away from family looking into PHd programs at the University of Edinburgh (just in case) and New College where the program takes place is in a Castle. Just awesome.
Today we ventured all over Scotland. After visiting family cemeteries in a couple different towns, we visited Anna’s grandfathers old church in Culross, and then had lunch in Dunfermline.
After lunch a few people went back to the house and we decided to go to visit the farm where Anna’s grandfather grew up and then we went to visit the highly acclaimed National Wallace Monument, dedicated to our well known Mel Gibson movie Bravehart and our hero William Wallace in Stirling.
Looking forward to some new adventures in Edinburgh tomorrow.
Today was more of a travel day then anything else. Anna and I got up late and basically packed and flew to Scotland. After landing at Prestwick airport we picked up a car and I drove (on the other side of the road i’ll have you) to Glasgow airport to pick up Ella. I’ll tell you it was quite an experience.
After picking up Ella we drove to our final destination for the night (and for the next 3 nights) the Windy-Yett Farm in Fallkirk near Strilingshire.
Here is a picture of Anna and I with our niece Roxanne.
