An ice-cream shop near one of our bed and breakfast. Lots of interesting flavors: Ferero Rocher, Banana Marshmallow, Rhubarb Ginger, Honey Comb, Licorice -all sorts, Bounty Bar, and Chilli Chocolate. I think I'll pass on the Whisky Crunch!
The beautiful River Tay (spelled phonetically)
One day we hiked up to a dam over looking the town we were staying in.
The water as it began it's decent
Loud ...but interesting to watch
A night at the local pub (sorry ...it's little dark) but a girl who works in the pub is doing the highland fling while a man plays the bag pipes in the background.
The "Clapping Song" This is an amazing musician (can't remember his name) who was in town from Edinburgh where he plays for "Oor's Walking Tours" He followed the local talent with a fast paced, 3 hour singing, guitar, banjo, harmonica playing extravaganza! He was so funny and entertaining. He asked where we were from then started referring to Gary as "Texas"! We were so impressed with his show that we bought his 2 CD's to take home with us ...and he threw in a free t-shirt. What a deal! Gary told him that he wanted the t-shirt to wear when he plays raquetball -and the musician told him he'd be honored"
A short bit to show his skills as a banjo player.
Care to join us in a little sing a long?
"Take me Home Country Road" with Gary driving along the Scottish country side. As you will see Scotland has very narrow roads. Note the signs that say "slow" painted on the roads at each curve. This is to warn you that an on coming vehicle may be in your path. Usually the Scots drive in the middle of the road at great speeds until they see an on coming vehicle, then they try to move over. Obviously on the curves it's hard to see if someone is coming so they are hoping you'll slow down enough on each curve so you'll have time to avoid a crash! Oh boy!!!
