Scotland

Scotland, what a great country. These shots are from the castle overlooking Edinburg. The Edinburg castle is a great one, in terms of inherent beauty. It is located on the side of a cliff and from it one can see for miles. The road leading into the castle is called the "Royal Mile" There are shops up and down, where you can buy all sorts of gifts. The castle starts like all castles should, at the front gate and then corkscrews up to the left.

All the way up there are Turrets that overlooked the city and down onto Prince's blvd.


Here is the Ceremony of the Haggis, it is quite spicy. The guy on the Left was the announcer and more or less entertaining. It wasn't until this night that I learned that the Scot like the Acordian too. Who would have thought it. I figured them to be more manly than that.

Ali even tried the haggis. I was suprised.








So like the other countries over there the stain glass is impressive to say the least. This one was a standout to me. I like the bible story that was included and before the actual stories were replaced by the apostostic teachings of the catholic church.

This one here is of Mel Gibson. Just kidding. Although they are quite proud of Braveheart over there. I'm sure they would have done more in the day had they known about the press they would be getting now. No this is WILLIAM WALLACE, yes the same who gave my fore-fathers " the Johnstone Clan" a castle since they were so good at killing the British. If you have met the a true brit you will know why anyone would want to kill them. HAHA This was found in the church that was in the compound of the castle. It was a tiny church but nonetheless beautiful

The Royal Mile leads up to the front gate of the Castle in Edingburgh and it is like the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica, there are shops and street performers everywhere. But rather than have that obnoxious black guy who paints himself silver and puts a whislte in his mouth, this here play the Bag Pipes. That is much much better

Now this is a cannon. Seems like it wouldn't be very practical, hence why it is in Scotland. That is a british joke. See that is why we hate them. Ali is there just for perspective. Thanks babe. In situations like this I would tell her to go and act like Vanna White. Here however she was too cold to put her arms up.
