Wonderful weather
Golf...being played...on a golf course...in St Andrews...Really????
So I have been in Scotland for the past two weeks, having a nice quiet break, doing a some sightseeing, and experiencing the varying weather they get. It has been a shocking couple of weeks, heavy rain, floods, crap weather, but surprisingly some sunshine thrown in. (Blink and you will miss it though!)
I have spent most of my time in and around Dundee, seeing some castles, ruins, St Andrews (and yes there is a golf course there!), Stirling (learnt about William Wallace, apparently it is bad if you havent heard of him!). I then went up to the highlands on a 3 day tour to the Isle of Skye. A lovely place, when you could see it through the rain and cloud, it must be amazing during the sunny times.
Back in Dundee again planning a trip up to Inverness before heading over to Germany for a couple of weeks.

But isn't it beautiful!, those lovely old stone buildings, the lochs, the low mountains, your Mum as normal is pea green!
Hi Princess,
Iffn you get to Inverness Find the statue to Flora McDonald down near the river. My mum used to live/work in a shop that was bordered the road between the statue and the road. Is is no longer there. But nearby are Raining's stairs which is the way Mum used to go to school each day.
Now you know why the Scots migrated everywhere... Scotland is a great place when you live in warmer climbs. And, of course, my grandfather migrated North from Ireland to the outer Hebrides.
Any sane person would have gone to Majorca!
LOL Ian
