🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland - Here we come! (Update 7) Flying home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿


We have a 50th birthday to attend next Saturday in Glasgow, so we thought we’d spend a week up there, hire a car and look around.

We’re staying at The Moness Resort, which is 2 hours north of Glasgow: -

UPDATE 1 - We went to the local whiskey distillery 🥃: -

It was next to JK Rowlings’ estate and was very interesting.

UPDATE 2 - We drove through the beautiful scenic countryside to Glencoe (where Skyfall was filmed) and Fort William: -

Update 6 - Retail therapy for the girls. I’m just about to eat haggis dim sum in a Scottish Chinese restaurant, lol.

Update 7 - I never got round to eating a deep fried Mars Bar ☹️

I’ll keep you updated on our little adventure 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think you should pop in and pick one up. Those would go nice with your legs.

reply

Oh, get you.

My husband and I did a land tour of England, Wales, and Scotland and went to Glasgow and then on to Edinburgh - beautiful scenery and history in that area.

reply

The scenery driving from Glasgow to Aberfeldy was stunning.

reply

If you have the time, take a tour of Loch Ness and see if you discover anything

reply

It’s about 2 hours from here so who knows 🦕

reply

We did today. No sightings though ☹️

I doubt I’ll be trying that.

reply

Maybe after a few scoops 🍻

reply

Nice!
Sure looks like a beautiful countryside🍻

reply

What I’ve seen so far outside of the cities is beautiful.

reply

You could say this about anywhere!

reply

True, but there’s something about hills and valleys that look breathtaking.

reply

It's the altitude. People often get shortness of breath when they're higher up.

reply

Bagpipes!

reply

You just did a racism.

reply

Haggis!

reply

Ballochs!

reply

Stitch you Jimmy!

reply

We drove through Skyfall country today.

We’re visiting a distillery today 🥃

reply

That looks like an awesome countryside location!

reply

We’re here until Friday and then we’ll head south about 2 hours to Glasgow ready for my friend’s 50th.

We’ll try and take in some scenery whilst we’re here.
