Scotland 16th - 20th

Tuesday 16th August

Ryan, Daniel and I went to Taymouth Castle we took some polaroids and had a huge chat about movies and music. We had lunch at the house then Ryan and I drove Daniel to pick up the book he had ordered from the bookshop while the others went to the Crannog centre. All the boys had southern fried chicken for Tea and all the girls had fish. Jo made a lush bread and butter pudding! yum! :P

Wednesday 17th August

We headed out to the Hermitage and had lunch in the car park before going to the Beatrix potter exhibition and walked to the station from the exhibition. It was a good exhibition but it did seem a bit more like a creche. The gallery above had some amazing art. We went back to the hermitage and went for a walk. Sue stayed in the car while we walked around. We went into the Ossian hall and saw the Salmon leaping up its a shame to think they won't make it up there :( We drove back through dalguise we saw a house Beatrix Potter once stayed at and plenty of pheasants! We had burger and chips for tea and played the logo game.

Thursday 18th August

The weather was good so we headed to Ben Lawers for lunch while looking at the view. We went for a walk in Killin at the other end of Loch Tay the path followed the old railway line. The path was very trecherous and we had to use a few logs to get across some boggy bits. Three ducks began to stalk us everytime we thought we had gotten rid of them they appeared :P Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and when we got back to the house we had to pack for our departure the next day. We had lasagne for tea and Jo made bread and butter pudding again :D We played the logo game one last time.

Friday 19th August

We left the house at 9am and arrived for breakfast at Dobies. Daniel travelled with us to Carlisle and Hadrians wall. We visited Bird Oswalds roman site before checking into the Premier Inn at Carlisle we arrived just after 6pm. We all had a nap before coming down for dinner at the Brewars Fayre after dinner we got to bed about 10.30pm.

Yes Ryan and I shared this! :P

Saturday 20th August

We all had breakfast at the Brewars Fayre Ryan and I packed to leave first as we had further to travel. We left just after 11am and stopped at Tebay and another services nearer home. Michelle and Co left just after 12 and they stopped at Tebay and a garden centre on the way back we got home at 6.30pm and Michelle and Co got home at 10.15pm.

It was a lovely holiday and didn't feel at all like 2 weeks worth.
