One day in August

P8280919

28 August 2017: we left Aberdeen to drive at a leisurely pace, to Edinburgh.

After a quick stop at Stonehaven, we soon stopped again at Dunottar Castle.

We didn't pay to go down to the site, but spent a while enjoying the views. The slopes were so steep I thought I was actually going to see someone fall off while taking a selfie.

We spent quite a while in beautiful St Andrews.

Neither of us has any interest in golf (as a non-driver, K does like driving the cart, that's about it). But once there we sort of wished for more time to look around.

We had a great lunch at a brewpub and then parked somewhere down near the harbour and wandered though the ruins of the cathedral and extensive cemetery.

The slightly older St Rule's tower seems to have been built to last, or maybe wasn't such a target like the massive cathedral, apparently the biggest church in Scotland, when Catholicism went massively out of favour.
