More Scotland

I am in love with our Bed and Breakfast! Ardent House has been running for 20 years so it has the cutest style and everything is just so quaint and lovely. And the Lady of the house feeds us all so well at breakfast everyday!

This is Cawdor Castle! For all the 2007 OLevel Lit students, and those who have read Macbeth, this should sound familiar! Though not historically accurate, Shakespeare imagines Macbeth as the Thane of Cawdor and Cawdor Castle is the setting for most of the story! For most of the year, it is a tourist attraction but is also the winter home of a family that has had it for over 700 years. And like all things here is Scotland, it is incredibly adorably furnished inside!

This is us at the Urguhart Castle Ruins. No cute curtains or wallpaper at this castle. It has gone through a lot; seen many a battle in its time, and now is just for tourists to climb all over.. Sad, really. OH! This is also the Loch Ness!! Probably way more famous than the ruins! I was looking, but, we didn't see any sea monster..

Ok, too many pictures! And travel ones, that no body really cares about, i guess? I won't overdo it right now, so more photos later!

Tomorrow is a big day; Josh moves into Gordonstoun. Pray!
