A Scottish Holiday

Beautiful photos - please tell us more about your holiday!

[AL-58]

We were invited to my cousins wedding near Edinburgh and decided we'd go. Its a very long and expensive trip from Australia so we decided to spend some time in Scotland to make it worthwhile, so we both took 7 weeks leave. We spent three days in London to recover from the flight before taking the train to Edinburgh and meeting the family (an uncle and aunt, 5 cousins, their spouses and kids one of whom I'd met before 25 years ago when she was 10YO). That was great. After 10 days around Edinburgh for the wedding and meeting people, we had a hire car for 30 days to go touring. As usual we left the plans pretty loose, nowhere near peak period so we could afford to for accomodation etc.


BROCH OF GURNESS, ORKNEY

We got to Mull, Iona, north through Fort William and the great Glen, John O'Groats, Orkney mainland, the western highlands, got to see some of the Scottish Six Days Trial nr Fort William, Cairngorms, Stirling, some of Hadrians Wall. And more before heading back to see the family for a few days before leaving.

Been back at work for a week now and it already seems so long ago.
