We’re in Edinburgh, Scotland at the moment as some of you may know if you got my email (if not let me know your email address).. We caught the train from London on Wednesday. That afternoon we saw Edinburgh Castle and some giant hill with heaps of monuments…

Yesterday we hired a car its a some euro Vectra looking thing, a turbo charged diesel which has been pretty fun to drive! Surprised I remember how its been so long! Windscreen wipers and Indicators on the opposite sides still gets me sometimes.. haha

We drove out to Stirling yesterday which has a very impressive castle a top a massive old volcano which they’ve slowly been restoring. Some of the original parts date back to the 1200’s from memory. Stirling Castle was retaken by William Wallace at one point which was when he given the title of the Guardian of Scotland.

There is also a 150 year old monument to Wallace on a mountain on the other side of the valley. We climbed to its top via the 246 stairs on a narrow spiral stair case just wide enough for 1 person..

But the worst part of yesterday was I had a contact lens tear while in my eye… pretty sureit had me in tears until I decided to pull it out on the road.. spent half the day and driving around blurry through one eye and clear through the other! Haha..

Today we drove to Loch Ness, about 4 hours from here, and didn’t get back until 9 tonight.. Saw some awesome ruins of Urquhart Castle right on the Loch. No sign of the Loch Ness Monster though… I presume she’s on holidays in warmer waters? It was a bit cold up north! We got to drive through the Scottish highlands where there was snow everywhere around us and covering all of the mountains… through that corridor it got down to 2 degrees.. but as you got further up north the snow disappeared!

Haven’t upload any photos from Scotland yet still need to finish uploading all of the others! But here are a couple of stupid videos of Ryan trying to get in the way of a photo of was taking…
