Stirling Scotland


Stirling Castle, Scotland

I have family that lived in Stirling several hundred years ago.  It is such a charming place.

Walter Scott's Abbotsford - Scotland

Any trip to Scotland should include a visit to Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott.  It is an amazing house placed in the charming scottish countryside.  I really enjoyed walking around the grounds, exploring the house and all its treasures, having a cup of tea on the terrace, and of course walking down to the Tweed River.  I highly recommend Abbotsford.
Some of Sir Walter Scott's books; simply lovely
