Off to Aberdeen. We set off early, about 8.30. We headed off to St Andrews, home of the game of golf. We arrived at about 10.30 and had a look at the Old Course. Pretty special. GG and I did not have a birdie, or hole in one, as we were not able to go on the course unless our handicap was below 24 and we had £120 to pay for a round!
We visited the ancient cathedral and castle of St Andrews. Amazing!
We then headed off to Glamis Castle, the home of the Queen Mother and the setting for Macbeth. A most interesting place, (no photos of the inside of course).
We saw the castle and the Highland cattle that are raised at Glamis.
We then drove to Aberdeen and had a brief look at the city centre. We then drove to our very ugly but serviceable hotel. After a meal in the brasserie we retired for an earlyish night.

Bryce here, Andi is completely right when she says Marj can ring anybody at 3:00 AM, except us of course. We just came back from the ANG Turners on Tate exhib at Canberra so if you notice anything missing , it's here. Canberra's winter temps 0-14deg C seems to be much the same as London's summer.
ReplyDeleteSeems we got it right now, our comments are showing up.
ReplyDeleteGreat to be able to follow the adventures.
