Scotland


For my birthday this year my husband arranged for us to take a trip to Scotland.  We had a 10 hour layover in Paris, so we took the bus from the airport to the downtown area.

 We visited quite a few castles while we were in Scotland.  The one above is not a castle but the hotel we stayed in outside of Stirling.

You may recognize this castle (Dounan Castle)  it was used in the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail


This is the Urquarhart Castle located on Loch Ness (sorry, no sightings of Nessie)



This is Edinburgh Castle (could never get a good picture due to the unrelenting fog)




We spent some time traveling through the Scottish highlands and found this highland cow.




Some of the time we spent searching for our ancestors
and there is nothing quite like a man in a kilt playing the bagpipes!
