Scotland Day 5

I know it's been a while but I really do want to share all of my Scotland trip with you. We had a great time.

Summary of Wednesday 5/17/06

We left the gorgeous hotel in Strathpeffer and headed toward Edinburgh with lots of stops in between. We heard about Bonnie Prince Charlie on our ride and then stopped by the Battlefield of Culloden Moor.








We then passed by the Queens summary castle and Royal Deeside where she shops. For lunch we stopped at Braemar; the site of the Royal Highland games. Here we ate lunch and did a bit of shopping after leaving Braemar we drove thru

some more beautiful landscape down to St. Andrews. It was just a golf town which was rather boring; however the sea shore was great. We climbed on the rocks and took lots of pics. We then went on the
hunt for a coke, where we paid 3.5 pounds ($6 US) for 2 tiny glass bottles.



After St. Andrews we headed to Edinburgh; the Scottish Capital. We had a good nap while riding and tat evening we did the Scottish night. There was bag pippers, fiddles, accordian player and lots of Scottish dancing and singing. We ate Haggis. It tasted like spicy corn beef hash.
