Bud and I took a Friday/Saturday trip a few weeks ago
to do a little touring.
We went to Glencoe and the Isle of Sky
Glencoe is in the Highlands
This is what most of the mountains in the Highlands look like.
The weather was cold and rainy.Imagine that for Scotland weather!
In the Highlands, a lot of the signage is in English and Gaelic.There are a large number of Scots who still speak Gaelic.
Enlarge these signs to see a sample of Gaelic writing.
Some pictures are better taken from a distance!
Can you find the stone fence?Is is amazing to see these hundreds of years old fences
winding their way straight up the mountain!
Enlarge this picture and the next one to find it.
This is the village of Glencoe
A view from the other direction.
Signs of spring.
A beautiful view of an old bridge.
This river looks cold and swift.
Notice how the moss grows all over the trees.
Bud at the monument.This a monument honoring the MacDonalds.
38 MacDonalds (men) were slain in their homes
by the clan Campbells,
after giving them refuge in their homes for 3 days!
Copy & Paste this link for the story.
A beautiful spray of flowers growing on the side of the monument.I will write about the Isle of Skye later.
As I write, April 29, my kids are flying into Paris. They will arrive late this afternoon!
Yeah!!!!!!
