Blair Castle – My Scottish Adventure With Ewe

Well, I retrieved my wee car and headed off from Edinburgh, ending when I get tired of driving and find a place for the night.

First thing first, I’ve got to get out of the city! Kate, I need my navigator. I will have to imagine you are here, bleating at me (ewe do that sometimes, SHEEP). Here are common phrases from Kate; mom, you are very close to the bushes on this side, MOM…LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. Mom (calmly) at the circle take the second left….just go around again. Only kidding Kate, I miss my navigator. Now, about that city…..

So those circle marks are all the wrong turns! There were a few shites going on until what was to be a 20 minute drive was about 45! No damage to the car, so, YEAH FOR ME! I headed north towards Dunkeld.

It’s a small town off the beaten tourist path. I walked around, had a coffee, found some Kinder Prize eggs for Mallory and Ayden. Nan is welcome to come home, with the kinder eggs!

Weirdly, they have sheep porn!

Interesting story for the day:

I was on the bridge over the River Tay taking pictures. See the people walking? I included them in the pic because they were there, and walking the dog. (making the pic more interesting) (not creeping!) While I was having the coffee I was looking at my pics. When I left the shop I walked towards my car and those people were walking by. So, trying not to be creepy, I walked up to them, told them they were in a picture I took and asked if they wanted it. They were not creeped out at all! I sent it to her email, while we chatted. They are from Ireland and invited me for a cuppa tea when I’m there!

You just never know!

From Dunkeld to Blair Castle. History lesson; someone built this, someone stole it (Likely visciously) repeat that many times and now you can tour it and the grounds! I got there in time to hear the lone bagpiper. It sounded amazing!
