Honeymoon in Scotland

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Finally back to work after the bachelor party, wedding and honeymoon. 1200 posts to read and about 1000 e-mails to sort through. Anyways thought I would share some pics from the honeymoon in Scotland. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to anyone who has the means or the time.

Here's the first place we stayed - Borthwick Castle in Edinburgh

Here's a view of the damage done to the oustide of the castle by come cannons when they were trying to get to Mary Queen of Scots.

Here's how we had to get to the room. 52 stairs up this spiral staircase. Thank God someone helped with the bags.

Me and Becky in the vaults under the city of Edinburgh. When the Plague struck Edinburgh, they pretty much sealed off the city and built a new one on top of it. This was on the haunted vault tour our first night.

This is the royal mile in Edinburgh.

Golf anyone. This is St. Andrews old course near the coast.

Here's the ruins of the St. Andrews Cathedral

Last one for now. Still have to get the rest off the camera. Here's me and a suit of armor in Edinburgh.

The car we got was a Vauxhall Vectra 2.2 LS. Pretty nice car compared to what else was on the road. Funny thing was at one of the hotels, I was looking in the windows for something and this old lady came by and said, "Nice car, wish you had one."

[LA_MERC_Spark]

wow! Sounds like a great trip d00d! Congrats again!

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Here's some more pics.

This is our hotel in Oban, Scotland - the Caledonian Hotel.

Here's one of the Highland Cows we came accross while driving. It looks like a normal cow with dreadlocks.

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Here's Loch Ness. If you look real close you can see the monster.

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

i see it!!! it's right there in the water!!

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Wait, this was the picture with "Nessie" in it.

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Here's a kewl pic of Oban. The tide had gone out and the boats were now resting on the bottom.

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Here's the herd of sheep we had to move between fields. They were in the middle of moving them when we came down the road. The said, "Just drive through, they'll get out of the way."

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

that car is on the wrong side of the road! Stupid Scott's!

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

hahahah!
The said, "Just drive through, they'll get out of the way." Sounds like something you'd say at Mardi Gras too...
