Culloden
We had the added bonus of a bunch of weird Canadian role players at Culloden Moor on the day we visited, who brought the place to life a little bit by being dressed up as Highlanders and giving free talks about the battle and the events leading up to it. It was a blustery, bitterly cold grey day when we were there as well, which gave it a bit more of an ominous feeling!

Wow you make both places sound really, really appealing. I dont think that I will be adding Aberdeen to my list of must visit places..... ore Peterhead for that matter.

You can't beat the chippy!
You both look so well and happy. The chippy is an absolute must to visit - yum ! The photo of the Village of Crovie has to be seen to be believed - amazing. Loving the travel tales, Helen xx

It's funny to see a photo of Stirling Castle with green grass in front of it, as we were there over Christmas and the whole of Stirling was covered in snow - together with the steep streets around the castle being coated in ice! And I know what you mean about that hill up to the William Wallace Memorial...I climbed that not long after getting over one of my cracker English colds and had the breathing capacity of a 98-year old at the time!

Family skeletons are clanging!
Hi Super sleuths You have been busy in your investigations of the whanau. Enjoyed reading about it and no doubt by the time you have visited the Scottish rellies you'll learn even more.

Navigation
Before our brief excursion into Italy in 2001 I said to my three navigators "If you are coming with me you need a sense of humour and a sense of adventure". That way we saw a lot of Italy even if we didn't mean to. I hope you two are enjoying each others' company in spite of tricky navigations. Enjoy the adventure.

BDay Boy!
Hi Grahame, have just caught up on your blogs. Certainly very interesting, with fabulous pictures. Happy Birthday for the 3rd of July. cheers Christine

I am soooo pleased that you made it to Blackpool after years and years of us being blamed for the house being lit up like Blackpool Illumination!!!! And Im with Rin, dont believe that it reached 30 degrees in the UK!

Well, I shall consider myself very, very lucky to have secured an amazing seat in the stands to watch Man U play....it certainly was one of those experiences that stay with you!

Beautiful

So you didn't manage to make off with one of the players shirts then? Did they show you the big spa pool in the dressing room where they get all-in-together-boys after a match?

Gotta say...Murray is lookin' a little shabby next to his new-born English counterparts! Maybe time for a whirl in the washing machine??

That totally cracks me up that you guys went on a Beatles bus tour....and on a dirty hippy "magical mystery" bus too! But very glad you didn't forget about ol' Gerry and the Pacemakers and took a ferry cross the Mersey :-) And I never got used to supermarkets hours on Sundays! The number of times we thought we would do our weekly shop on a Sunday evening only to get to the super and find it had closed at 3pm!!
