British Isles Friday

I've been doing some memory lane posts of trips before digital and before blogging.

April 2001 - Scotland

We flew from Toronto to Amsterdam and then to Edinburgh where we picked up a car.



Me, killing time in Amsterdam airport.

On our way to our timeshare accommodations in Aberfoyle we stopped in Luss home to Loch Lomond.

Here's a lovely new version of the old singalong favourite.

Settled in. We attended a Scotch tasting session hosted by the timeshare one evening, it was a good thing we didn't have far to go to our condo.

Almost in the centre of the photo on the beach is a lone bagpiper playing.

Pretty cottages in Luss.

You can see the bagpiper getting ready to leave.

The highlight for John was playing at St. Andrew's where we spent a night and had great curry for dinner.

John may have had a gorgeous day to golf but the next day as we drove back to Aberfoyle it poured and we got a flat in Pittenweem. But the auto association came to our rescue and fixed the tire.

Another day we drove to Stirling Castle. It looked much the same in 2010.

Lunch in Stirling.

Our photo of William Wallace was awful, so I "borrowed" this one. It made us laugh as he looks like Mel Gibson!

We then flew to Ireland and spent a week around Ireland 2001 Ballybunion.
