Our Scottish highland getaway
... the ghastly touristy type.
We went on a bit of a pilgrimage to find some of the Macgregor clan and found Rob Roy's grave site (famous Scottish folk hero and outlaw of the early 18th century).

It's off to the tattoo we go
... in Edinburgh and see the tattoo at the castle was a special thing. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Scotland for a holiday. The tattoo is a must. We also came off very lucky. Our seats were to the side in in the last row giving us a magical view of e whole stadium. Another bonus was that the heavens opened up and let loose with a torrent of rain.
