So... Scotland
Jul. 1st, 2014 11:28 pmTo be honest, I started to lose interest in posting the rest of my Scotland pics. After the last set, it was down to the last couple of days, and I was just trying to plow through the pics, hoping to be done. And then it took me a while to post them on Flickr. That was June 10 through the 17th. Since then I've been kinda busy, and kinda over it. :-( But I want to post abut it, to put down my memories while I still have any, these nine months later.
After the ferry from Orkney landed on the mainland, we drove south to Inverness. It was a long drive, mostly after dark. We were staying at a B&B outside of town. It was not the best place we stayed. The food was... not the best. But it was adequate.
The next morning was grey and rainy, as befits a visit to a battlefield. Culloden. In 1746, a battle was fought between the Scottish Jacobites and the English Government forces. 1500 to 2000 Jacobites dead or wounded, and less than 300 of the Government troops killed. This was the last gasp of Scottish independence.
( Then we went into whisky country. )
