There’s no place like home, but we had a wonderful trip to Scotland with our travel buddies Julia and Gary. Our Scottish guide Paul gave us the history of the clans and folk lore of the different areas and really enhanced our tour. We started out in Edinburgh to St Andrews Old Course, stopping at picturesque villages along the way, then on to Pitlochry and Inverness. We traveled up to Ullapool and Lochinver, to Isle of Skye to the Old Man of Storr. We were blessed with great weather most all of the time. We saw numerous castles and ruins, including Eilean Donan Castle. We loved touring the Highlands. There was such dramatic landscape nearly everywhere you looked. The food was outstanding, salmon and mussels were a staple for me, and we ate haggis too. The locals said yes it was good eating, so we had to try it. We stayed in Oban and toured Ise of Mull and ferried over to Iona and Ulva. Inverary was a charming town with a beautiful castle. We saw many lochs including Loch Ness and Loch Lomond. We toured Rosslyn Chapel. Gary spotted two prehistoric Standing stones for us all to see just there in the middle of fields. I would have missed it. Another thing I noticed was there were a lot of redheads there.
