Helen's Scotland

"Edinburgh Castle" the focal point of the City, can be seen for many miles. Annually, during the Edinburgh Festival, the "Military Tattoo" is performed nightly for three weeks. This wonderful occasion is one of the great visual and musical events in the world, showing the traditions of Scotland's heritage. With massed pipes and drums, the finale is the highlight of this great spectacle, delighting the thousands of visitors, who flock to Scotland's capital City at this time.

"Crofters Cottage" Luib, Isle of Skye A most delightful journey back in time, one can imagine how difficult day to day life was living in such cramped conditions. This original house is filled with traditional furniture and other essential items of the day. Once the most common housing on the island, the wall cavity several feet wide was filled with earth for insulation.

"Highland Cattle" are the most adorable cuddly looking beasties. Although the horns give the appearance of being unfriendly, this dual purpose animal is usually extremely docile.

While we lived in Scotland, my Dad supported his "Hearts" for many years. In 1991, the Staff generously gave my brother Steven, Australian born sister Karyn and myself permission to view first hand, but not stand on the "Hearts Playing Ground" . This was an extremely emotional occasion for the three of us taking in the very place our Dad had watched his Soccer team.
