We enjoyed a few days in Scotland a couple of weeks ago.
This is the Tam O'Shanter Inn in Ayr. It's a quaint wee building with a thatched roof.
One of our stops was in St. Andrews. We went into the courtyard of the university to get this shot. The town itself is very nice with cobbled streets and interesting shops.
We also visited Dundee. This is Caird Hall in the city centre.
We passed by the popular ski area of Glenshee where we saw the ski lifts going up to the top of the mountain.
In the town of Ballatar, near Balmoral, many of the shops have a royal crest above their doors
to indicate that they supply goods to the estate.
This is the lovely little Crathie Kirk, near Braemar, where the royal family worship when they are in residence at Balmoral.
This church was at the village of Dunkeld on the way to Perth.
The River Tay runs through Dunkeld. We walked down beside this bridge over the river.
This is a view of our hotel, the Angus Hotel, in Blairgowrie. It was comfortable and the food was good. We used the swimming pool and jacuzzi every day and usually had it all to ourselves!
Here Sophia is feeling the texture of the soil. If you don't watch carefully they like to taste it too!
A popular game is rolling over on top of each other. It's all right for a while but can end in tears.
They like sitting together in this swing seat in the garden.
Their favourite occupation is looking at their books. It's ok until both want to have the same one.
I put their hair up in a bunch on top, out of their eyes. Faith has just spotted Sophia's and in a minute she'll have it pulled out.
