We woke up and hit the road to St. Andrew's because we had a lot to see this day! It is truly one of my favorite places ever. Here are some excerpts from my journal:
"We wandered by the beach, collected shells and stuck our feet in the North Sea. Stopped by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club/Course and then trekked to the Castle ruins. I was very brave and sat on a window ledge that was very high up and not very safe! We also crawled into this ancient tunnel and then freaked out a little bit! We continued on to the Cathedral ruins and stood in awe there.
It's just so huge and beautiful and amazing!"
"We made the decision to skip Perth and Scone Palace so that we could make it to Dunkeld before the shops closed. We made it and I bought a new sheep mug!"
(Dunkeld is one of the places that I have tried to make it to each time I've been in Scotland. It's a tiny town, but beautiful and quaint. I just love it and this time was no exception!)
"Drove to Pitlochry and found our hostel. Ate and decided to brave the drizzle and wander for a quick look at the church across the way. That turned into a GIANT walk all over the place. In the drizzle and dark with no flashlight, no wallet, no camera, no umbrella! We saw the dam and fish ladder, the enchanted forest (lights and music) and walked across the Victorian bridge which was terrifying! It is a suspension bridge and it was totally moving as we walked.
I freaked out and just booked it across."
"I am ready to collapse in my bed and sleep. Tomorrow will be another long day and we have just been walking and going and going since we arrived. Sleep is a valuable commodity. I think I'm still a bit off from the time change,
but at least I'm sleeping at night!"
