FAREWELL TO SCOTLAND




Our last trip! First we went to Queensferry. We passed over the Forth North bridge.


This is Queensferry



We visited Falkland Palace and saw the oldest tennis court in the world


Saint Andrews castle.


Who said we only took pictures of the girls?


A tin of human sardines or Splendour on the grass


The remains of the cathedral in Saint Andrews


Then we visited a fishing village. This is the most famous Fish & Chips in Scotland

Finally we had our group dinner back in Edinburgh but have no pictures of the event. Sorry!

LOVELY HIGHLANDS WEEKEND TRIP


On Saturday we visited lots of places. This photograph was taken in Ruthven Barracks



We had the opportunity to see a farm with sheep dogs and an exhibition of sheep-shearing .


Ot helping the shepherd with the shearing. He is quite good at it!!!



Dunkeld was another of our visits.


On our way, we stopped to take some photos of the typical Highland coos (cows)


The whole group singing The youth for Med song remembering Teresa by Loch Ness . It was a very moving moment for all of us.


David played a Scottish song with his bagpipe for Teresa, too



Some brave students bathed in Loch Ness


At last we could see the monster Nessie !!!!



The next stop was Glencoe Valley. We went for a long walk

It has been a great and "sweety" weekend

Thanks David
