Scotland is grey. And gorgeous. The sky consistently looks like a Monet painting, and the old town of Edinburgh just oozes history.

There’s a big castle overlooking it all, and I couldn’t be happier. We even got to play with a huge sword!

Having successfully linked up with Sean we have had a great time sipping nips of whisky (note the spelling, for in Ireland it is whiskey). And visiting wee little shops.

Today we head for Glasgow, tomorrow a tour of the highlands, and after that: Ireland!
