Soggy Scotland . . .

Despite the lack of sunshine and soggy starts to our days in Scotland we've still managed to have a whole lot of fun.  From a Spectacular Jousting Tournament day at Linlithgow Palace to Camera Obscura near the gates of Edinburgh Castle.  Below are some of the highlights - it's easier to put it all into pictures rather than words sometimes.

Big Scotland Skies

Taken from beside our van - this is the 25 minute return walk to the toilets - see the trees in the distance, the loos are past them!

Best sandcastle ever, using dry sand it actually became a treasure hunt more than a sandcastle build.

Best spot ever to build a sandcastle on the shores of Ardmucknish Bay right beside our campsite.

This just about sums Scotland summers up!

When Glenn and I slowed the shutter speed of the camera down in the tunnel of lights this is what happened.
We had SO much fun!!!

The heat sensor camera was awesome.
