Scotland

We headed up to Scotland for a week. To save money we caught the megabus up and back for only a couple of quid each way, it was nine hours each way and coming back to London we caught the bus overnight. We did a four day tour and spent two days by ourselves in Edinburgh.

Map of where we went on our Tour

Travelling up to Edinburgh on the bus - nap time!

Our first meal in Scotland - it had to be traditional! 'Haggis, Neeps and Tatties' Basically an offal delight, mashed potatoes and mashed swede - very tastey!

Hamish the highland cow - a Scottish icon

A quick stop off for a picnic lunch

We went for a bush walk and drank from this stream - possibly the nicest, sweetest water we've ever tasted

Sampling a bit of 21 year old whiskey

Philip on the piano one night - quite a star!

At the end of the tour we had some money left over in the 'kitty' fund so we all opted to buy a bottle of whiskey that was passed around the bus!

We couldn't resist some good old fashioned fish n chips, although I was very disappointed the local fishy didn't have any mushy peas in stock, just after I had developed a taste for them!
