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!
25 April 2017 When we woke in the morning, it was to a winter wonderland. There’s nothing like seeing the city covered in snow to make you thankful for the warmth of a hotel room! We had a big day planned with three castles on the agenda. So, as usual, we woke early, packed quickly, …
24 April 2017 To our delight, we awoke to a sunny morning and snowflakes! We packed our camp as tiny snowflakes fell around us. They weren’t sticking, but that didn’t stop our joy at seeing them. Once we packed in camp, we admired the baby ducks near our campsite for a little while longer, and …
23 April 2017 Our rescheduled horse trek was set for 10 AM in Rothiemurchus, so we hopped to and got our camp packed quickly. We had a bite to eat and then made our way to the stables. Two beautiful horses were waiting for us. Billy would be riding Gilly, and I was paired with …
22 April 2017 We awoke to a cold morning. Sleet fell in the night, but thankfully, had stopped by the time it was time to get up and pack it in. We quickly packed and then took refuge in the warmth of the car with the heater blasting. Stop number one for the day was …
21 April 2017 After two weeks of blissful days, we finally hit a minor roadblock. I woke up with a migraine, which I didn’t know that I had at the time. I told everyone that I just got nasty headaches every once in a while and that the light really hurt my eyes, and sometimes …
20 April 2017 Today marked Billy’s 30th birthday. We tried to work it out so that we could see things that were high on his list, and lucky for us, we had a great day planned. Our first stop was one of great interest for both of us, but for vastly different reasons. The Fortingall …
19 April 2017 We broke camp early, had a cheap breakfast, and excitedly made our way to stop number one of the day. We were headed to one of the most historic places in Scotland. Scone Palace Scone Palace was near the top of Billy’s list of places to visit. It has some incredible history …
18 April 2017 After a surprisingly warm night in our tent, we packed up, had a cheap breakfast (thanks, McDonald’s), and headed over to our first stop of the day, the HMS Frigate Unicorn. HMS Unicorn The HMS Unicorn is a frigate that was launched in 1824. She is one of the oldest ships in …
17 April 2021 We had a delicious breakfast at The Ship Inn where we were staying. This absolutely made up for the awkward service the day before. We then suited up and headed out to tackle the Elie chain walk. This walk was the entire reason we chose to come to Elie, and to be …
16 April 2017 We woke to the soft patter of rain falling on our tent. It was rather cold, and both of us would have rather stayed snuggled up in our sleeping bags. Instead, with castles calling to us, we got up and quickly packed camp in the quiet rain. Once everything was in the …
