Catching up

I have neglected to write about last Wednesday's outing so now we have to play catch up.

Grahm took us eastward to the coast this time. We first visited the town of Culross. Here we visited the Garden as well as the Abbey. The Garden was an intricate maze of various plants and sea shell path ways. We had to pay attention while making our way around town; not that it was very busy but the roads are still cobblestone. In fact, some of the houses in Culross were built in the fifteenth century and are still being used today. After navigating through town and up the hill we visited the Abbey which was fun to explore. Next, we visited Dunfermline, Scotland's ancient capital. In the center of the surrounding woods, the Abbey and Castle ruins still overshadow the country side. It is here that Robert the Bruce is burried...under the church pulpit. Setting out from there we stopped in the town of Queens Ferry. It is here that the Rail Bridge stretches across the waters. Just outside of Queens Ferry, Grahm showed us one of the stately homes. This particular house is home to an Earl but Graci and I decided it was where Mr Darcy lives. Finally we stopped off to see Linlithgow Palace. This place was the birth place of Mary Queen of Scots. I doubt that any of these outings could ever be disappointing.
