Photos of Scotland

We're a little bit behind with posting photos, so here are some highlights from our two weeks in Scotland!

Rory and Jeff at Doune Castle, where Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed

The Scottish Highlands at Glencoe

Incredible sunset at Morar, a remote village on the west coast

Our hotel at Morar. Its address: Morar Hotel, Morar, Scotland. There was only one road in the town.

We took a ferry to the Isle of Mull, where we stayed at the Tobermory Hotel

We drove from Mull on the west coast all the way to St Andrews on the east coast in about 5 hours. Rory's grandparents live in St Andrews and we celebrated his grandma's 88th birthday there. This is from the top of the cathedral tower overlooking St Andrews.

We spent a week in Glasgow while Rory attended a linguistics conference. I took a bus tour one day and stopped at the Botanic Gardens and a number of other places. It was fun!
My first time on a double decker open-top bus


Glasgow Cathedral

The Glasgow Necropolis is a cemetery that sits atop a hill behind the Cathedral. It's impressive to walk around. And I randomly met a woman there who not only was attending the same linguistics conference, but had also lived in Columbus and was also traveling to Paris by train on the same day as us. 
This video is from the linguistics conference ceilidh (Scottish dance). 90% of the participants had no idea how to do these dances and they still had fun!
