Yesterday we made our way to Edinburgh via St Andrews. This allowed Leon, a golf tragic, to visit the old course and pay homage. Hazel and I wandered around the town admiring the many stone college buildings, like a smaller Oxford without the bikes. After trying to settle in our hotel here, where the rooms are so hot, why don’t they open windows ? We had a tasty dinner served in house. Today was the turn of the “Majestic” hop on hop off tour bus. First stop the botanic gardens. The pictures tell a story, a great alpine house / rock garden, glasshouses and rhodo’s / azalea’s.

The crevice garden has given me a few ideas for our back garden…..

And a fine Scottish tail, sadly not a red one.

Another driving day tomorrow, back into England and the Lake District on a bank holiday weekend, aaar !
