Above is a small selection of Scotland photos I have taken over the years and each one holds special memories. You can click on the above photos to enlarge them. The first time we went to Edinburgh we ate lunch at Deacon Brodie's Tavern and watched the Edinburgh Military Tattoo marching by while playing their bagpipes and pounding their drums. We stared in awe from the windows surrounded by flowers, as they headed up the hill to Edinburgh Castle. Then there was the trip to Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven Scotland. It was a bit of a drive from where we were staying but Dunnottar Castle was a must see especially for my husband. We discovered on our visit that William Wallace stormed the castle and won. We also discovered that there is a ghost on the premises. The grounds are very large, surprisingly, and make sure to pick up a brochure when you enter. This will give you a lot information and help you enjoy your visit even more. While we were there we enjoyed a wonderful picnic on the grounds of Dunnottar Castle as did many other visitors. Then there are the two photos of the inside grounds of the Elgin Cathedral. One is of a pictish stone. My husband and I kept losing each other since we would wonder away from one another in this large cathedral ruin. There are so many interesting things to see and we had been stuck at the hip, it seemed, for days. It was nice to escape and have a little quiet time to ourselves. One photo is of the abbey ruin at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh and the other is of the heather covered hills we first came upon on our drive from Edinburgh to Turriff.
Believe me, I have many more photos of Scotland and will be posting some of them shortly. Hope you enjoy them.
