Driving in Scotland
The websites and tour books simply say, "Great Britain drives on the left-hand side of the road." In very small print they add "you will find single track roads that are only wide enough for one vehicle." There is mention of "passing places" but it is a little unclear...
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle was on the "list" and we were leaving in the morning for Kinlochleven so it was now or never. For some reason they built castles on the highest point they could find! Cobblestone is not easy to traverse either. We scrambled to main entrance...
Scott Monument Edinburgh Scotland
The Scott Monument was not on the list but it was a good workout. We climbed the 287 steps to the top and enjoyed the splendid view of Edinburgh which included Arthur's Seat. We didn't spend a lot of time looking at the exhibition on Sir Walter Scott's life on the...
Marshall Family Headstone – Edinburgh Cemetery Scotland
We found family in the Edinburgh Cemetery. I couldn't tell if they were excited to see us but we were surprised to find them! We wandered into this cemetery while touring Edinburgh. We were looking for place to pee. No we didn't pee here and sadly we didn't stay...
Buying a Kilt in Edinburgh
Buying a kilt in Edinburgh was very high on Chuck's Scotland to-do list. In fact, it was the very first thing we did after lunch at the Albanach. I had no idea it could be so complicated. Step 1: Select your kiltmaker. Chuck researched kiltmakers before leaving...
Amsterdam Layover: Chuck Pole Dances
This picture speaks volumes... Chuck was not pole dancing. He was no mood to dance. In fact, he was very irritated if you can't tell by the picture. There were no chairs and only a dirty floor. We were tired, hungry and ready for the plane ride...
The Albanach Pub Edinburgh Scotland
Chuck's first Scottish pub experience was at the Albanach Pub in Edinburgh, Scotland. We found vegan food and beer. What else does a person need? We ordered a Guinness and a Belhaven IPA. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and the food was very good but...
Scotland Hiking Trip Itinerary
Scotland Hiking Trip Itinerary: with Chuck Marshall. Ten days, 5 hikes, 7 pubs, 4 castles, 5 different beds, and nearly 50 miles of trail. Day 1: Depart from Detroit. Day 2: Survived the Amsterdam layover, located “The Albanach” for a beer and lunch, purchased...
Looking for Maynard on Route 66
While scanning our entertainment options on Netflix, Chuck and I stumbled upon the documentary, Blood into Wine. It is a crazy video about Maynard Keenan from the band Tool and Puscifer making wine in Arizona. I love wine and Chuck loves Maynard. (He loves...
