Scotland 2022 - Irvine (26)A B&W
Scotland 2022
We have travelled to Scotland for a few days and had a fine time. Good company, good weather (in the main), good food and lastly great opportunities to bring out the camera.
1st Day
Culzean Castle – The home of Robert Burns
Trip along the coastline to Maidens, a seaside town
Finally on to Turnberry (Trump Turnberry)
2nd Day
Off to Ardrossan to catch the ferry to Arran
Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the island that well as the weather came in on us until mid-afternoon but we did get to see the island from top to bottom by coach.
3rd Day
Departing Ayrshire, we travel through the picturesque Trossachs. We had time to visit Callander. Then run alongside Loch Earn to visit the Glenturret distillery, (Famous Grouse Whiskey) for a tour and tasting exercise. They have some special single malt that sells for £5,000. Well someone had to take up the slack. They have a Lalique restaurant and shop. My favourite part, the glass was just stunning.
Finally we had free time in the village of Crieff.
4th Day
On to Dundee, to visit the City’s rejuvenated waterfront. We boarded RRS Discovery, the ship of both Shackleton and Scott. Had an interesting tour and then another tour to the new Victoria and Albert museum, which was for me the highlight of the day.
We finished the day with a visit to Arbroath and finally on to Carnoustie. The end and home next day.
A great time was had by all and as usual I took too many photographs, not a surprise and this is the first batch of six
