    Scotland trip Aug 2011

    Just thought I would post a few pictures from my recent trip to Scotland. Weather was unpredictable so didnt take as many pictures as I would have liked. This was also my first public outing kilted so please be gentle. Incidently the dog is a Newfoundland which was a rarity in Scotland apparently. If I had a pound for every time a tourist wanted to take his picture I would have enough cash for a Taylor tartan tank by now. Talk about a missed opportunity. Had a fantastic time though and all the Scots we met were incredibly friendly, they didnt even seem to mind a non Scot wearing their National Dress. Just cant wait to go back now.

    1st pic is me and my dog Alfie at Eilean Donan Castle.



    Now a better one without me in it.


    Looking back towards Tyndrum on the road to Glen Coe


    Loch Shiel at Dusk


    Myself and Alf at Fort Augustus


    The Jacobite Memorial at Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel


    And finally for now the Castle in the Loch on the road between Ballachullish and Oban


    Glen Roy and the Parallel Roads (just visible in the centre) caused by retreating glacial action


    Thank you Scotland and the Scots for a truly memorable time. Your friendliness and hospitality are second to none and your landscape truly inspiring.
