Left Edinburgh!!

Well today we rented a car and left the crowds in Edinburgh....enjoyed the stay, but was glad to move on.  Oh, what a stressful drive getting out of town....driving on the wrong side of the car and the wrong side of the road, not much fun.  Once out of the city it wasn't so bad.  On our way to our B & B we stopped at Stirling Castle.  If you saw Braveheart it would be the castle he defended.  From the castle you can see The Wallace Monument.  Great views and really unbelievable rooms.

The King & Queens Chambers

Once we left Stirling we drove on to a small castle and gardens called Edzell.  It wasn't a restored castle, but one that is what you would call ruins.  Or at least partial ruins.  The gardens were really cool and well kept.  Other parts were in tack, but many walls were gone.  Enjoyed this one in a different way than the other two.  It is hard to describe, but it had a unique character. 



Not sure what adventures we have in store for us tomorrow, but I know it will be good.  I know the drive won't start as scary as today!!  I hope everyone is well and safe.

  1. Thanks Terri for doing this blog. It is a lot of work especially when you are tired from the excitement of the day. Good job on the driving - it will get easier and easier. You just got thrown into the fire right away :) Haha I love that movie "Braveheart" I can't even remember how many times I've seen it so that castle would have been a highlight for me to see. Hope you get your Bangers & Mash soon! LOL

    Love,
