Since I'm painting a photo I took in Scotland, I thought I'd share some of the pics I took while we were there.
The movie theatre in Edinburgh, where we saw Harry Potter 7, part II. So exciting to see it in the city where she wrote the books!
Little bistro/deli where we had lunch the first day.
Edinburgh Castle
A mountain in Edinburgh that we hiked up.
Church ruins of Holyrood Palace . . . amazing carvings and detail here.
some detail of the Rosslyn Chapel . . . where Da Vinci code was filmed.
the castle where we stayed one night. it was so fun. we had dinner in the old dungeon!
one of my favorite memories of Scotland was the coffee we drank and reading my book, "The Winter Sea" while we were there and finishing it when we got home. It's about a writer who went to the Highlands of Scotland to write a novel and her experience while there. such a treasure to me now.
We rented a car and drive up to the Highlands (like what we refer to as "going to the mountains"). It was soooo beautiful up there. we could have stayed a month up there. so many lochs (lakes) and beautiful scenery.
look familiar?
view from another castle (we saw 6 total) . . . American! LOL
a few pics of the scenery along the road
heading out on another hike
another castle, out on its own little island
I think this was my favorite castle . . . it is in ruins, but still so beautiful!
same castle, view from high inside it
some panoramics I made in Photoshop with photo merge . . . this is a view of Edinburgh
another of Edinburgh
and a view from Stirling Castle
It was truly an amazing trip. I would go back in a heartbeat!!!
