Recent adventures


The end of summer was approaching fast as Dave arrived in Scotland - 13 August to be exact. It's going to be our 'second' anniversary. The first anniversary is our actual wedding day - 31 December; the second is the day we finally started living together! We've decided to celebrate both equally.

We took advantage of warm, sunny days...and not so warm, sunny days...to travel about and see some places. Historic Scotland has great membership cards to get in for free at all their properties and we have been using ours well.


The first stop was Linlithgow Palace. This is a great place. It was the birthplace of Mary, queen of Scots, in 1542, but had been around long before that. My friend, Nicki, did her PhD on James I (d.1437) and knows a lot about the palace - she even works there!
