Hi all,

Well I'm sitting in the Edinburgh airport waiting on the flight to London so time to catch up on the trip.

On Friday we drove from Balater to Linlithgow via this little historical spot. Here the Scottish folks have recreated a house that would have been here around 500AD. the people here lived over the water and hunted and raised cattle for food.

We checked in at the B&B and then headed to Linlithgow castle for a look around. Again the connection to Mary Queen of Scots.... she was born here! Robert the Bruce set fire to the castle when he was here to keep the English from using it as a base of operations. What a waste!

I just had to include this.... the farm house B&B that was our home for two nights. We had the small section on the left all to ourselves. What a great spot.

Saturday morning it was off to Stirling Castle. This was the home of James V which he built in the mid 15oos for his Queen. They are restoring the Royal apartments so we didn't see much of the interior.
