Off to the Scottish Highlands
From June 14 -20th Randy and I went to visit friends in Scotland. We flew to Edinburgh and stayed overnight and then headed up to Inverness by bus the next morning. The trip through the highlands was beautiful! Our friends George and Ethel met us there and took us to stay with them at their home in Cullen - a picturesque fishing village on the north coast of Scotland. 
They have a Labradoodle dog called Bradley that weighs around 100 lbs and is full of life. Bradley added lots of fun to our visit there.
We enjoyed wonderful meals and great day trips to see Spey Bay, Walker's shortbread factory and the Brodie visitor centre. The area is also home to Baxter's factory and a dozen or more whiskey distilleries. We visited friends we met who had been to Mortlach, Saskatchewan a couple of years ago and they sent back a bottle of Macallan's whiskey for us! Any suggestions for it? On Sunday we attended the Old Kirk in Cullen - it was pre-Reformation and still has the laird's box and the seating in the shape of the cross. We were also able to spend a couple days with the Friesens in Edinburgh exploring museums and art galleries and breathing in the good Scottish air while we strolled along Princes Street and the Royal Mile.

The fun never stops in Scotland, does it? What a marvelous time you seem to be having! We are well, but going just a bit crazy with the move. But it will be all over soon with just over a week til the move.
Awh. Your trip looks amazing! I am both amazed and a little jealous of your time in Scotland. I can't wait to talk to you.... Makes me count the days until YOU and the UK. Love you lots.
