John the driver picks us up at 9. A little orientation to Edinburgh – views from Calton Hill toward the Firth of Forth. A stop in Queen’s Ferry. St. Margaret and the pilgrims. Off to Linlithgow Castle first then Stirling Castle. St. Michael’s Church in Linthithgow. Doune Castle in the distance- Monty Python’s Holy Grail. Up into the Highands. A drive through the Trossachs around Loch Lomand. Lunch stop – Hammish the Highland Cow. The Royal Grouse. Scottish strawberries. A wee dram of Glennfydditch and some shortbread....A visit to Glenneagles Golf Club where the Ryder Cup will be played in 2014! It should be great...the mountains filled with gorse in brilliant yellow and dark patches of heather that will bloom in the fall... the light rain today seemed so appropriate for Scotland - broody and dramatic - interestingly the rain did not shroud the views - they were great! Dinner in the hotel - very nice. Lovely staff - true everywhere on this trip.
