Did you miss me?

Just got back from Scotland and I have a few things to share with the rabble.

Jock Scot is right about the other tourists loving my kilt. Many pictures were taken by other tourists. We also had many locals who beamed complements at us. "Very smart looking!", was heard a lot. (They also liked my Montana Walking Stick made from a bison's willy!)

Scotland has so much to offer. This was our second trip, and it still holds unseen surprises.
This was taken at the Callanish Standing Stones.

The Broch of Carloway will forever hold mysteries.

The Neolithic village of Skara Brae felt like stepping into a cathedral.

I'll post more if you'd like to see them. Till then, I'll just dream about going back.
Cheers

Me too! Very nice pictures; they take me back to my trip twelve years ago. If you've got 'em, please post 'em!

Please, more pics. In fact, you can just post all of the pics from the trip.

Well it looks like you had a grand time. How soon do you want to go back? When we got back in early June all I could think about was when to go back. So much to see. How was Iona?

Iona is one of the many places in Scotland that we have not visited yet. Maybe soon.

Here is another from the Broch of Carloway.

I absolutely love the stone walls. I also love the fact that I didn't have to break my back building them!

Here is a sculpted figure on the facade of the tower of St. Clements Church at the very South end of the Isle of Harris dating from 1130 AD. The figure appears to be wearing a kilt, but that can't be right. Go figure.

I'll post more tomorrow.

Really?? You have got to tell me more about this very curious walking stick! It looks absolutely stunning, but I can't quite get my head around how the material would work.. Do you have to insert a Viagra into it every now and again?

They are made on the Crow Reservation just outside of Billings, Montana, by inserting a steel rod into the raw material, stretching and twisting and clamping in place until it's dry, then varnishing. In addition to the walking stick, they make a wonderful looking putter. I'd take bets that my stick was the only one of it's kind in the UK.

Imagine trying to explain THAT "animal product" to a Customs inspector...
