It is hard for me to believe that it has been two years that we took our wonderful trip to Scotland with our friends, the Thornells!.......What a grand time we had! Scotland has to be the most beautiful country in the World!
We began our adventure in Edinburgh and traveled up the east coast (with my hubby driving the treacherous roads and doing quite well) and then down the west coast seeing many SIGHTS in between.
Our trip through this lovely country included visits to Castles and farmlands to BREWERIES of SCOTCH (with tastings!). Loch Ness and St. Andrews golf course being some of the highlights. The Highlands had to be my favorite with lots of shopping and good eats!
We left SCOTLAND and headed to LONDON which was so fabulous. I will post photos of our adventures there at a later date.
Today is my BIRTHDAY and it has been fun going down memory lane and giving you a little peek into my SCOTTISH adventure!.........There is an old Scottish saying that goes, "A Highlander by the GRACE of GOD" and now that I have been there, I certainly agree!!!.......

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Birthday my friend!! I hope your day if full of wishes to come true! Your trip looked like it was a lot of fun!
What a fabulous trip. My son spent three months in Europe last year, including a week or so in Scotland. He enjoyed the trip immensely.
Hello and Happy Belated Birthday to you...this post is just now showing up on my bloglist even though it shows you posted it on Saturday. What a wonderful trip this must have been & now I want to go too! ;-) Bo
Looks like it was a fabulous trip! Happy Birthday :)

Happy Belated Birthday, Dear Mimi!
Happy Belated Birthday to You!
Thanks so much for dropping by my nest, and I love yours!
Scotland Forever! I love Scotland so much and want to go back! These scenes are familiar and fun, and I can't tell you how I enjoy living vicariously through you on your trip. I bleed plaid! ;-)
My favorite picture is the piper with the dog. I loved how dogs were everywhere. My husband and a friend were playing golf at Royal Dornach (sp), and a Scotsman in a kilt who was elderly asked them if he could play through. They were panting and wheezing going uphill and down, and this man just sailed past as if he were going downhill on a steep uphill climb. LOL! And not only was he in a kilt, he had a collie with him.
I think we saw more Westies than any other dog the whole time we were there. So glad you had fun on your trip, and you got some great shots. We stayed in St. Andrews at a flat I found in a golf magazine (the lady was lovely who was letting it for her daughter), and we made day trips out from there. It really was a dream. Obviously you think so, too! :-)
XO,
Sheila
P.S. The food was so fresh, and I loved all the fish and the soups. I even tried Haggis on a dare and managed to survive. ;-) It really wasn't that bad; it sounds far worse than it is.
Mimi - happy birthday to you!!!
we are twins almost - thanks for the well wishes yesterday.
I had a great time - hope you did too.
These pictures are so wonderful - make me want to go so bad!!!

Scotland is SO beautiful...I have not been in years, and this post makes we want to book a ticket for next summer!
I feel so at home in Scotland because there are so many redheads, and I come from a family of redheads. Did you notice this when you were over there?
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I do love Scotland, it's been a few years since my last trip and I'm chomping at the bit to get back. Looks like you all had a wonderful trip.
