Ok, leaving the Isle of Skye under clouds and rain showers we drove across the Scottish Highlands to Inverness. That’s where the Caledonia Canal, across Scotland, starts or ends. Inverness is a lovely city home to the Lochness monster, no sightings confirmed.
Off to Edinburgh, roughly 6 hours total driving. Lovely city, it’s both the Military Tattoo and two other festivals. So a happening place, Edinburgh is really happening this week
A day trip to golf’s holy grail, St Andrews.
Lovely picnic in Tayport,
Then a visit to Carnoustie, our third Open venue🧐
But, the real reason we are in Edinburgh is the Military Tattoo. Tour guide Cindy’s birthday present ( I’ll let her tell ya how old she is😜) The whole trip was planned around this date. The Tattoo is Military bands (from around the world) performances in the entry way to Edinburgh Castle set at sunset 😎👍 It features many performances including our favorite, The Royal Scottish Dragoon’s. The stadium is built for Tattoo , then taken down. It holds 9,000 people. Not a dry eye in the house, Lads and Lassi’s, everyone’s Scottish tonight.
Unbelievable, unbelievably beautiful show! Over 20 countries and performers represented! One hundred minutes of nonstop action, beautifully choreographed and timed. One of the highlights of our trip.
Highly, highly recommend. 👍😎👍
We were amazed at the crowds in Edinburgh. Very little drinking in public or drunks, and great experience for how large the crowds are.
Back to England, with a visit to York.
God bless the Queen, God bless the King, there will always be a Scotland!
