Scotland - Day 3-5

We picked up a rental car Friday morning and hit the road. I must say, I am extremely impressed with how well Matt did driving on the right side of the car on the right side of the road. He managed to drive us all over Scotland without getting us in an accident or even a near miss.

We only had a car for the weekend, so we spent as much of our time the past three days exploring outside of Edinburgh. We started with a trip south to see Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose Abby, some other Abby, and then drove the coastal route back to Edinburgh. The next day we headed North West to tour Stirling Castle, Perth and Tullibardine Scotch Distillery. And our last day with the car, we went North East to St. Andrews and drove the coastal route home. We hoped to drive further north into the highlands but time just didn't allow for it. No worries though, we are already planning our next trip...we want to stay in a cottage in the low highlands and make our way out to some of the Isle's.

We have enjoyed driving through the countryside as much as we enjoyed walking through the city. Both are beautiful and quite different than many of the cities we have been to so far.

We will spend our next two days back in Edinburgh, checking out a few museums, a palace and roam the streets some more taking in the beauty of the city.
