Our trip to Scotland was more wonderful than we could have imagined it would be, even with the cold and rainy weather. Madison danced great at Worlds, and Stephanie recalled and received an Irish dance world ranking in her age group. We visited the Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh Caslte, the Palace of the Holyroodhouse, Stirling Castle, St. Andrew's-- the Old Course, St. Andrew's Castle, William Wallace Monument, Glen Coe, Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Glasgow Cathedral, Kelvingrove Art Museum, Willow Tea Room, Glasgow City Chambers, and hiked Arthur's Seat. We ate fish & chips, haggis (well, Brian did), shortbread, fried Mars bars, fozen dairy cream with chocolate flake, fish casserole, Cullen Skink, neeps & taties, rarebit, Costa coffee, and had authentic afternoon tea.
Once we got home however....
we had lots of unpacking and laundry. A small price to pay for such a memorable two weeks!
This is the 14th post about our Scotland trip. If you are interested in seeing all the posts, you'll need to go back a few pages.

I loved reading all about your trip! I had no idea that you were going there for the World Championship...thought you were just going on a vacation! Looks like you did both! Your family is beautiful and your pictures are amazing!!! Congrats to Stephanie and Madison!!!!
Great pics! Scotland is one of the most beautiful places on earth, I think! My MBA came from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and it was there I got to graduate. Love that place and can't wait to go back! Sounds like you had an amazing time!
