Leaving Scotland

Farwell to Scotland
It's been a quick wqeek as i travelled from Edinburgh to Glasgow, not the 35 mile trip across but by way of Inverness and the Isle of Skye. The Highlands are awesome, perfectly unadulterated, no signs, cables, advertising on the hillsides make it a clean sweep of mountains. Signposts are modest and discreet and all have a welcome attititude.
fave spots have been Rosslyn Chapel - no not because of the Da Vinci Code - I'd read about it before the book made such an inpact - Holy grail indeed, don't think it's buried in the chapel.
I've tasted haggis - not bad, drunk the coffee - pretty bad - met many Scots - great folk and flashed the plastic at a couple of shops.
More to tell later.
Off to London to see the Queen tomorrow.
