We left Stonehaven and Keith Cottage and our delightful hosts Mitch and Bertha. The porridge was excellent and Kathy took the butteries, a flakey buttery pastry, with her. Our breakfast friend this morning was a guest from Limerick, Ireland. He was staying a week in Scotland, for a CHECKERS, tournament.
We are off to Atholl Palace Hotel in Pitlochry. Kathy was missing the go- cart experience on twisty winding roads so we took a few back roads. We missed the sheep too. Can you see the poor cyclist puffing along this narrow road.
Lunch was a picnic this time and I discovered custard. Sublime
We ate at Bridge of Cally then it was back on the road through the bucolic hillsides. It was raining a lot to day but we did get an afternoon adventure at the Queen's Lookout. Queen Victoria for sure visiting the region made a name for the place but local history says "Queen Isabella" wife of King Robert the Bruce visited in the 1600's.
More little shops and quaint sights. After dinner in the village we are back to the castle.
We have visited so many places and done so much that the blog is very helpful to remind where we were and what we did. I have lots of pictures to share and I love the historical aspect. Back at the castle there is a traditional Scottish wedding. Instead of tuxes all the men wear the kilt of their clan. It is quite impressive. Do you think our friend Kathleen from Portree on the Isle of Skye would say we have seen proper kilts? I think so.
