I am so envious! How many times a day do I wish that I could live in Scotland?

Oh well, just have to settle for a vacation one day.

You are having waaaay tooooo much fun

I think you should continue having this much fun and keep sending us pictures so we know what we want to see when we are in Scotland. Thanks for the fun!

Your pics are always wonderful, P1M.

Pour1Malt, who is taking the pictures or do you have a tripod along? Very nice though, I do have to get over that way some time in my life.

DALE.

Outstanding pictures!

You must work for the tourism board. Or, at least you should, because you really make me wish I was there.

This photo was taken in Dollar, on 6 January. We never have grass that green until very late-March or early-April -

It's a pity that you cannot make out Castle Gloom, in the background.

I only know "Bruce" as a first name. Does this mean Robert the Bruce had a split personality, you know, sometimes he was "Robert" but other times he was "Bruce"?

I actually have a friend from college with the last name "Bruce"
