First set of Scotland photos

Some lovely homes in Pitlochry. They had beautiful gardens.

The main street in Pitlochry. As you can see, it was a bit damp out.

We just liked this view from above the town with the beautiful green hillsides and the interetsting rooftops.

This is the golf course in Kenmore on the grounds of Taymouth Castle upon which the resort we stayed at was situated. We took a little walk along here first thing upon arriving.

This is a monument in Pitlochry to those who died in WWI.

Again back at Taymouth Castle grounds walking along the lane that runs alongside the golf course. It was so beautiful!

This is the main gate to the castle and golf course about three miles from Kenmore.

Jonathan insisted we pose for a photo next to this sign. We did get quite a kick out of these signs, which we found in several towns. Notice the frizzy hair I'm sporting? The damp conditions and hard water left me with a head of frizz for the entire trip.

This was one of the hundreds of streams (or burns) and waterfalls we saw along the way during our trip to Isle of Skye. The photo doesn't do the scene justice. It is hauntingly beautiful.

The harbor at Portree on Isle of Skye. The dark blue part of the building on the right is a restaurant at which we enjoyed a delicious lunch.
