Leaving Loch Ness and the magic of the highlands behind, our bus winds it's way back to Edinburgh. We meet Hamish the highland cow - he is one horny sexy highlander!, check out the ruins of a castle and learn about a bloody battle. It was Friday 13th when the Campbell Clan brutally murdered the Donald Clan after accepting 12 days of highland hospitality. 38 members were killed and many others died as they fled from the glen up into the hills (known as the 3 sisters) during the middle of winter. To this day there are some stores in the region that will not serve anyone from anywhere in the world with the surname Campbell. We
visit the Sir William Wallace monument in Stirling - the largest monument to a single non religious figure in the world. At the end of the tour we say goodbye to new friends and head to our hostel to find we are in the same room and Shona is in the same bed as last time. It has been a great tour and we would recommend the Haggis 3day Skye to anyone. Dan and Chris our guides were an absolute highlight (esp the way Dan says the word "sexy").

The William Wallace monument is one seriously big monument alright! You will be sad to be leaving Scotland? Except for the fact that you have lots more fun places to go to from there!
ReplyDeleteForget haggis - how about Irn Bru and square sausages? Have the B&Bs tried to trick you with their black pudding as an edible food yet? (It's not). So cool to think of you guys at the William Wallace monument! We can compare pics when you're back =)
ReplyDeleteYeah we were a little sad to leave Scotland... was a pretty wonderful experience (the next couple of posts will elaborate on this) and HECK YES we tried Irn Bru -can see why it is 1 of 2 'native' soft drinks to out sell Coke!
