Scotland-Braemar

I know I got a wee bit sidetracked with life, but I still wanted to put up some pictures of Scotland from my last two trips. I love visiting Scotland, and even though my parents are now in The Netherlands, I can't wait for the time when I can go back to Scotland and visit the friends I made there! There isn't going to be much of an order to the postings of my trips, but I'll try to include a little information with them.

A beautiful Winter sunrise in Scotland!

This is Braemar Castle. It is the ancestral seat of Clan Farquharson.

The village of Braemar: The upper course of the river Dee flows through Braemar. The kidlets had a wonderful time at the bridge watching the river beneath them. (Who can blame them when there is this fun little turret.) They hold some of the Highland Games in a field near Braemar.

Rynie and my friend Melanie, who came to visit Scotland with us. I think Rynie now has a new best friend! They went for a walk to see a different part of the River Dee.

We woke Little Miss to walk around Braemar, this is her "I'm not sure I"m happy to be here." face. Of course, since she is a budding fashionista, take note of the turquoise bead necklaces she had to wear with everything. Her Floolie brought those back from Egypt for her. We later found out it was painted mud because she wore her beads in the bath tub and they disintegrated. That was a nasty mess to clean!

The River Dee.


I love Scotland in the Winter! Let's be honest, I love Scotland any time I've been there and it's been a wonderful opportunity to visit.
