Edinburgh

Yesterday we went around to Edinburgh and got to freely go around the town. It was a spectacular town with a lot of amazing stuff around town. There are statues all down some of the streets and the castle has been in working order for a very long time. A few days ago we went on a tour with a lot of old school churches and such. The stone in the pictures is from the 7-9th century. The carvings inside the church-like building took the carver 25 years to complete. It was a spectacular building.  The picture of me with the beer is in the oxford pub which is where a character in a lot of famous books drinks, as well as the author of the books. I will try to get the specifics tomorrow.  Enough rambling, enjoy the pictures.

Glen Clova

Today we went hiking up around Glen Clova. Went hiking around a small lake up on beautiful hills, and you could see for miles in every direction. Went down and had a few beers at the pub before heading back to the house.

Enjoy the few pictures.

St. Andrews.

Hey hey,


Today we went to St. Andrews and then went to a few small villages around it. Had the best fish and chips right outside of St. Andrews. The Haddock was amazing to say the least. So delicious. Went to another small town where we saw a Saluki dog, which is the mascot of most of the other people in the group. Very pretty dog. Went to a bar earlier and had a lot of delicious scottish beer and whiskey.

Enjoy the pics.

Oh and pool here sucks, its on a small table and sometimes they play snooker. The pool table is much smaller with smaller balls and ques. Not fun.









On St. Andrews old course.

Red Castle


Hey,

So today we went to Red Castle, or whats left of it. It was beautiful minus the chilly wind. Went to a few other places around that, up and down the beach. 

Enjoy

Scotland

Hey everyone,


So I am currently on a trip in Scotland just hanging out and drinking amazing whiskey. I landed today and havent slept in about 48 hours but hopefully I dont have any jet lag after today. Its been cold and wet since I got here but it is beautiful. I am staying in a place right off the coast of the North Sea and will be venturing around the island for the next couple of weeks. I will try to update the blog as much as possible, but the internet is kind of slow so it takes a while to upload pictures. Here are some of the place and room I am staying. .

I am staying in the windows to the left of the bush in the first picture.
