    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.

    This is some of the architectural detail from the back of Dunrobin Castle.


    The ruins of a black house dating from the clearances.


    Ceramic replicas of the Lewis Chessmen. (I brought a set of the resin ones home)


    And last, a reproduction of the Norse Mill and Kiln. There were several hundred of these in Scotland over the long years past.


    There will be a gathering of the clans at Stirling Castle in 2014. I started planning for it yesterday! Wouldn't it be something if we had a couple hundred xmarkers in our blue tartans. Steve would have to wear the the feathers in his cap.
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.
