What the heck day is it anyway?? I think it’s Tursday, that’s how they say it here.. I love the accent, I think I’ve picked a wee bit of it up me self..
Wednesday
So since I last typed.. ooh they are all starting to blend together now..I told you about two castles.. after our last night of carvery..that’s what Alex our tour guide calls it when they carve your meat.. it is a little funnier to the folks who have been here since day one.. seems all the hotel wanted to give them for dinner was turkey, roast beef and gammon or ham to you and me…
So we headed out to the Northeast. First stop South Queensferry. One question.. will it ever stop raining? Seems we are breaking records here for rainfall. GREAT!! now say it with a Scottish accent and it sounds better.
| We meandered around the seaside city..I had my first bite of fish and chips.. I thought that was more England.. but what do I know? I would have liked a pint.. but not for lunch. Went into some stores.. but nothing interests me.. a lot of tartans but nothing in my size. Back on the road to Firth of Fourth.. c’mon people I cannot make this up.. it’s GREAT!! Of course we went of the Forth Bridge in to the Kingdom of Fife.. I hear pipers..To all the golfers out there.. I went to St. Andrew’s.. this is where I stick my one good arm up and say na na na boo boo.. I tried my had at putting on the green and called it good, eat your heart out lads.. |

Thursday Started off with a cup of coffee. Ah sweet nectar. Criminy it is still raining.. and might I add, hard. We went to Crathes Castle.. the gardens were our first stop.. great flowers in the rain these girls are killing me..and I think there may be some mold growing in my box. Although there was an awesome strip of grass that could be used for lawn bowling if you asked me.. but you didn’t. Then we took a tour of the castle.. I was not in one photo here..not allowed.. personally I would have looked cool in some of those areas, it’s a 16th century granite tower house.. Erin had her head hanging out at one point.. silly girl..
Then we went to Craithe Kirk. This is where the Royals worship when they are on holiday. As you can see by the picture.. if it’s good enough for the Queen Mum.. its good enough for Albino MacBowler. Erin had to go to the gift shop.. seems the Royals have corgis.. and so does her mom.. less room for me in the bag.. |
 Went and had some lunch meandered around and went to the old train station where I saw the Royal Flush.. or Loo.. sort of creepy. I got my picture taken there.. I can’t take one in the church, but I can take one in the loo.. go figure. Well back to the hotel to dry out.. hopefully tomorrow will be a little drier. We are going to the Grampian Hills.. this is Scotland’s Whiskey Country. Glenlivet Distillery is our first stop.. there may be no more photos after that one.. – Erin Donovan |
