    Holiday in Scotland

    My wife and I and another couple had a wonderful time at our recent trip to Scotland. One thing that really made an impression upon us was the warmth and hospitality (wherever we traveled) of the Scottish people. Here are some photos of the journey.

    St. Mungo's, Glasgow (that Glaswegian accent was a bit tough to get all at once for my American ears, but I'd say I got 90% of it right on the first go round (not too bad).

    Some lovely Heather



    Loch Ness (no beastie sighting)

    Perfect weather for the performance



    I was lucky to get a few photos that were fairly clear





    But most were on the blurry side
