Wednesday, August 8, 2012

On display in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. I'm not sure if it's a miniature on ivory or a micro mosaic. I want it....badly! via

What a trip! Scotland is my favorite! What gorgeous and sad.....sad tales....of the "crofts" I sobbed!!I

Such a beautiful country! England has not been nice to the Scottish......(not the Irish, either......but...no politics!)

I had no idea of the history....but seeing the lovely houses and meeting the lovely people who today live in them.......was a magnificent experience!!
I will never forget it!!

There were ghosts in the castle we stayed in!
