Driving out of Aviemore heading towards St Andrews, on the last day of the "Open" tournament, I realised that I had missed some highlights of our trip towards Isle of Skye. I'm surprised that I did that as these two stops were definitely a highlight. Travelling from Lake District to Glasgow we stopped at Hadrian's wall, a wall that was built back in 120 AD!@!! which stretched some 75 miles across the land, following the ridge line, was an astounding structure. It look 7 years to build. Dotted with forts and towers along the way, this wall weaved its way across the countryside. Over the years, many houses have been built alongside the wall, using the stones from the wall itself. Where it once stood many feet high, it now stands around the height of a normal paddock fence. Alongside the wall is Lanercrost Priory and the Church of Mary Magdalene. The entire building made from Hadrians Wall.
