After our trip to the UK I’ve decided that I love Scotland and can’t wait to go back. Here are a few of my favourite images from our six days in Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth.

The Tay is the longest river in Scotland and the sixth longest in the United Kingdom. It starts in the Scottish Highlands, and moves east until it goes through Perth. Its mouth is wide, and is called the Firth of Tay on the east coast. Dundee is on the north bank of the Firth. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Tay

The Princes Street Park has wonderful pathways and the steep staircase leads you to the end or the beginning of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Pull Up a Seat in the Cemetery

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2024/05/24/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2024-week-21/

Many cemeteries in the UK are places to walk, sit and enjoy the view. This one in Edinburgh was located behind the St. John’s Scottish Episcopal Church. Nestled among the tombstones are places to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee from the cafe inside the church.

Someone Found Out That We’re Going on a Trip

some of Kevin’s favourite characters have decided they want to join us

Tomorrow we are starting our trip to the UK. I’ve been prepping my blog and scheduling posts for the next two to three weeks because I’m not sure that I’ll be able to post any photographs while we’re on the trip. Even though I’ve deleted over 500 photos from my media page it still says I have no room for new ones.

I can still see other posts and leave comments (hopefully) but if I can’t I’ll catch up when we return May 20th. In the meantime here are Kevin’s friends all ready for the trip.
