The Highlands
Today we drove through Perthshire to the Highlands we stopped at Gleneagles the World Famous golf course on the way and had cake and coffee. This is a must as it's simply gorgeous and the coffee is reasonably priced sometimes we feel intimated to enter such high class resorts but they don't mind at all if you just want coffee :-)
We drove to Glencoe and visited the visitors center very interesting one of the facts I found fascinating was that Angus Macdonald from the clan Macdonald one of the massacre survivors fled to America and married an American Indian you could see his son Duncan in traditional Indian clothing with his Indian wife :-) it rained later in the day but that's Scotland :-)

Thank you for sharing your trip! It's so much fun to read about your travel as I feel like I'm there with you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove the travel posts. My husband is dying to go to Scotland (golf freak he is). I have been when I was younger but the food/weather were holding me back. You're making me want to go too.
ReplyDeleteI love following along with your trip! It looks like you are having a wonderful time. We will likely be headed to Scottland next summer/autumn so I am all ears (or eyes) for the places you are visiting!
ReplyDeleteWe loved Scotland, but I do remember it being rainy and chilly in the spring. Best thing about that is stopping for tea! :)
ReplyDeleteYou've posted some lovely photos.
