Welcome to Scotland! On Friday we drove from York to Edinburgh, with a stop about halfway to walk part of Hadrian’s Wall. We could tell we were farther north, in this wild, rocky, windswept landscape. On Saturday we took the train to St Andrews, which was its usual chilly, grey, windy “self”; we took Meg’s favorite walk out the pier and along the Scores, and along the West Sands where the opening scene from Chariots of Fire was filmed. Today in Edinburgh we explored the Royal Mile and National Museum before a lovely afternoon tea in the Balmoral Hotel to a live pianist who played The Beatles, David Gray, and the Imagination song from Willy Wonka! It’s early to bed for our 6am flight out of the UK. Slainte!
