Alnwick Castle Day Tour
For my last day in Scotland I booked a day tour with Timberbush Tours down to Alnwick, England. We made a couple small stops through the day as well, including the Holy Island to see Lindisfarne Castle, and Bamburgh Castle. It was a whirlwind day, so much so that I forgot my phone on the bus at one point!

The 5th and final day of my Hairy Coo Tour; Culloden, Clava Cairns, and St Andrews
มุมมอง 20014 วันที่ผ่านมา
The FINAL day of our tour started in Inverness where we made the short trek to the Battlefield of Culloden and spent close to an hour wandering the grounds. With our small van we were then able to make a quick stop at the Clava Cairns, and followed it up with lunch in Pitlochry. Our last stop of the tour was a few free hours in St Andrews, where I didn't make it to the golf course, but I did cl...
Day 2 of 5 on the Hairy Coo tour: Glencoe and Lochs
มุมมอง 542หลายเดือนก่อน
I realized that my original upload had gone awry, so here is the second (and completed) rendition. Day 2 started in Oban and ended on the Isle of Skye. We drove through Glencoe, made a stop at Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Viaduct, tried whisky at the Ben Nevis distillery, and two quick stops at the Commando Memprial and Eilean Donan Castle.
Day 4 of 5 on the Hairy Coo tour: dipping our toes into the highlands
มุมมอง 693หลายเดือนก่อน
On day 4 we set off from Inverness and made our way north into the highlands. We took a short hike at Rogie Falls to watch fish jump up the river and enjoy the short but soothing waterfall. From there, we continued to Corrieshalloch Gorge, which had the BEST bathrooms on our entire journey. After a short hike and a stomach fluttering bridge cross, we viewed the incredible falls into the deep go...
Day 3 of 5 on the Hairy Coo tour; Isle of Skye
มุมมอง 2482 หลายเดือนก่อน
Amidst the wind and rain, we braved the Isle of Skye to witness a truly magical landscape. We made stops at Bride's Veil Falls, Lealt Falls, Kilt Rock, Mealt Falls, the Quiraing Lookout, Fairy Glen, and lunch in Portree. We made a pitstop in Plockton for a seal tour, and ended the day in Inverness.
Day 1 of 5 on the Hairy Coo Tour in Scotland
มุมมอง 5984 หลายเดือนก่อน
The first day of my 5 day Scotland tour started off with a detour from the get go. The itinerary called for a stop in Glasgow, but since we had no travelers to pick up and there were delays along the highway, we went a little off course. Enjoy day 1!

Edinburgh, Scotland; Arrival day and city walkaround

Our last tour before the folks headed back. We did a Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica tour and it was busy!! On this day, I learned how poorly my GoPro stabilizes in dark spaces, so I apologize for the shakiness. I also blame part of it on the number of people and how often we were jostled while inside. Visiting in the summer may seem like a good idea, but it was HOT and there were thousands of...

    Also… at the 17:30 mark you show the Heart of Midlothian, that shows where the old jail used to be and also where the gallows where. The locals never walk on it as it’s seen as bad luck and they also spit on it to ward off any evil spirits that may still be lurking there. Jut across the road and up a wee bit is the Deacon Brodie pub, Deacon Brodie is the real person that the story of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde is based on

    That cemetary is for the church of Sankt Sebastien. Mozart's family is buried to the left of that central path, on the way to Bishop Wolf Dietrich's mausoleum. Afterwards, before you hit the Staatsbruecke, was the Linzergasse, which is the neighbourhood in which I lived (1982-83). I lived at Priesterhausgass 6. Btw, its pronounced "Salt-s-burg," not "Salssburg." My bank was to the left of the fountain (next to the cathedral). I haven't been back since 1999. God, I miss it so.
