Having camera issues! So unable to upload photos. However we did take photos we just cannot show them. We traveled to Castle Howard which is more like a stately home, it has 10,000 acres. We had a tour through the main house and wandered around the walled gardens, it took most of the day. On our way back to Scarborough we called in at a Lavender Farm, we have seen it growing everywhere so it was good to get up an personal with the Yorkshire Lavender. We return...

Today we traveled from Newcastle to Scarborough on the way we stopped at a few famous sites! Hadrian's Wall this basically splits Scotland from England (during Roman Conquests) we then traveled to Corbridge to visit Roman ruins, then onto Castle Aydon for a quick visit. After lunch we called in at Whitby Abbey, spectacular buildings (ruins) that means 4 heritage sites in one day! This is our record to date. We arrived at Scarborough late in the day, no city bus...

Bit of a "Fail Whale" day today, Sean (our navigator) decided to take us the scenic way to Newcastle whilst it was scenic it did take us longer than expected, we had the worst lunch (ever) in a place called Morphet. It was raining when we arrived in Newcastle! We are still having technical problems with Sarah's camera, it needs to be sent away to be fixed! We decided to buy a small digital camera so we could continue taking plenty of snaps. Without a way to get...

Another day, another castle. Think perhaps we should start rating them. We did the self guided tour, and Sarah took some great shots. We did some local sight seeing and travelled back to Edinburgh for another visit, Sarah's camera not working so did not take many photos in Edinburgh but got most shots the other day. We visited the National Art Gallery of Scotland and had "high afternoon tea" which was nice, did a bit more shopping before traveling back to Sterl...

Another big day today, we travelled into the Scottish Highlands, spectacular views even though the weather was bad! Especially early on. As the day wore on the weather improved and Sarah's day improved when we saw our first Highland Coo's. We went past the Scottish ski fields, and just about saw Ben Nevis through the clouds. We arrived at Fort Augusta and took the cruise along Loch Ness, no viewings of the famous resident, however we enjoyed the journey. Bit ...
