    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.
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    Sorry Baldybrown I got you mixed up with another one of the rabble who was going to Scotland. He and his family were going to Iona. Great pictures!

    Wonderful pictures! The stone walls of the Broch of Carloway are incredible - so ancient and yet look like they could tumble at any moment. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing more - the pictures are food for the soul!

    Love the pics! I plan on being in Edinburgh sometime soon for 2 weeks to a month, so I'm pretty psyched!

    Thanks for the pics. I'm planning my first trip to Scotland--still a year off--and I'm starting a list of "must see" places.
