We headed to Scotland on 5 April 2017. Here, you’ll follow us down to England for our second Titanic Memorial Cruise reunion. Then, we head on to see sites all across the beautiful land of Scotland. We spent nearly 6 weeks in Scotland and it feels like we didn’t even make a dent in what the country has to offer! Come with us on an incredible journey. We hope you enjoy the ride!
15 May 2017 In what felt like a blink of an eye, we were on our final day in glorious Scotland. True to form, it rained all day. While some might have been unhappy with that, we were glad to get one last day of proper Scottish weather. We enjoyed a lazy morning before finally …
14 May 2017 Edinburgh welcomed us back with beautiful sunny weather. Just as we had at the beginning of our Scotland adventure, we checked into the Gil Dun Guest House. This time, we had a quirky attic room, which is our absolute favorite when it comes to staying in older homes. After a quick nap …
13 May 2017 We woke warm and cozy in our room at Hillcrest House, but the world outside was quite the opposite. Rain had moved in, and the temperature was all too happy to stay rather low. Our time in Wigtown had come to a close, and we were about to set off on our …
12 May 2017 A sunny morning greeted us as we woke in Wigtown, Scotland’s National Book Town. We hastily ate, and then I shuffled Billy out the door so that we could hit the bookshops bright and early. Unfortunately, in my eagerness, I didn’t take many photos. We went into every open bookshop, but the …
11 May 2017 Nothing starts a day off better than a delicious breakfast with great company. We ate with Les and Margaret, our new-found friends from the previous night’s dinner. By the time we left, there were hugs and laughter all around. I hope that anyone else who stays at Station House has the same …
10 May 2017 We had two major stops on our agenda for the day; Mount Stuart and Rothesay Castle. Despite the name, Mount Stuart is not a mountain or hill walk, but a stunning showstopper of a house that left us speechless. A Spot Of History Mount Stuart started its life in 1719. The Stuarts …
9 May 2017 The day had finally arrived. I’d been waiting just over a month for this very day, and now it was upon us. That morning, at 10:15 AM, we would be boarding the Jacobite Steam Train. My Hogwarts dreams were about to come true! The Jacobite Steam Train If you’re at all familiar …
8 May 2017 We were up early because, after a day of ease, we were back to our regularly scheduled program of cram-in-as-much-as-you-can. We had a lot on the agenda for the day, including Kilmartin Museum and Inveraray Castle, but luckily our first stop was a mere 15 minutes down the road. Dunollie Castle We’d …
7 May 2017 We woke to another warm morning with the sun shining down on our cozy tent. Waking up warm is the absolute best! We only had one big-ticket item on our list for the day, so we drove down to the ferry and hopped over to the Isle of Mull to start our …
6 May 2017 For the second morning in a row, we woke up to a blissfully warm tent. We packed slowly, soaking in the views before departing the Isle of Skye. With one last look at the mountains, we drove away from the beauty of the isle and into the beauty of an incredible drive. …
