Following on from yesterday’s blog – I hope you enjoy part two

It could only be in Edinburgh

Art imitating nature

Starbucks – Scotland style

some pretty cool tartan shoes and boots

the roof of Jenner’s

Had to sneak one in of the castle, to prove we were in Edinburgh

This also could only have been taken in Edinburgh

Howe of the Mearns

The only dolphin we saw at Aberdeen Harbour

Stable cat

Has nobody told homebase that the Gaelic has never been spoken in Inverurie? Maybe they mixed it up with Inverness

Did I say it rained a lot?

New Aberdour Beach

River Ythan at Ellon

Curry shop, Scottish style!

Vintage car – judging by the flowers in the back it was used for weddings

There’s snow on them there hills!

Lads and Lassies, take your parters….

You have been warned!

Can’t believe they are advertising Haggis OUT OF SEASON!!

Lovely wee keepsake from the Wild Thistle Gift Shop in Ballater – well worth a look if you are passing through!

Indeed!

Remember the road which disappeared and the castle which was almost washed away during last winter’s floods? Well this is the (saved) castle from the replacement bit of road

Bright yellow broom blossom lining the roads

4×4 and Italian food – what a combination!

Black pheasant – hungarian apparently

Massive new road being built to bypass Aberdeen. Should make travel to the Buchan area much quicker from the south

Thistle do nicely

We were able to cast our votes in the referendum – at the last address we were registered to.

Sunshine at last!

It wasn’t cold all the time

Wonderful meringue from the Dunes Restaurant , Fraserburgh

Neil had his hire car upgraded!

Someone has been making hay, hope the sun shone for them!

Driving in scotland can be dangerous

Spotted near Edinburgh

Followed this ice cream van for a bit – too cold to stop him tho!
