Standing Stones and Castles October 8-14

There are many sites in UK of so-called standing stones or mounds or circles, thought to be prehistoric burial sites. This one at Clava, Scotland is very interesting and is probably 3000-4000 years old. (click link to learn more)


At a loch (lake) nearby, I caught this beautiful rainbow.

Castles make up a large portion of our trip and what most people think about in Scotland, other than bagpipes and Highland dancing. Here we are in the gardens of the Clan Donald castle on the Isle of Skye.

Another castle, Eilean Donan, is often described as the most romantic and most photographed castle in Scotland.

While in Inverness-shire we stayed at a lovely timeshare, Scandanavian Village, which I can recommend highly. The town of Aviemore was perfect. We even found the local Scottish Country dance group and danced one evening with them. All over far too quickly!
