Scotland & Ireland Memories

 Last year, at this time, we were in Scotland on a tour of the Scottish Isles, followed by a tour around Ireland. Each day one or more photos from last year pop up on my Alexa and I get to relive "today" a year ago. It brings back so many wonderful memories! 

I've been trying to distill the trip down to just a few favorites....tough! A few of these popped up as I looked through some photos (but trust me, I could find hundreds more!): 

Amazing Scenery - the backdrop for numerous novels I've read!


The cemetery at Dunleckney, Ireland

A walk in the forest on an Irish Cob

The bathroom door at a fun hotel in Belfast, Ireland.

Highland Cattle - this one we could pet, but the other was guaranteed to swat us with his horns.

A peat fire in an ancient home in Gearranan Blackhouse Village, Scotland.
It smelled lovely and was welcome after the biting wind outside.

An informative introduction to Shetland Sheep and a herding demonstration

Of course, I found a fabric and fiber shop in Lerwick. the main town of the Shetland Archipelago.

Our most amazing tour guide in Ireland, Bailey!

Here are a few posts I published following the trip:

  1. What a wonderful vacation that must have been! Was the cob horse very different from horses you've had?

    Hugs!

  2. I'm struggling to distill our Scotland adventures. There were so many, and the pictures! How do you choose?
