SCOTLAND!

"Cheers" from Scotland!  Today we drove to Scotland!  It was a 2+ hour drive to Scotland.  Then we stopped in Glasgow at the Burrell museum.  He was a shipping magnate.  If he liked something he would buy it, so his collection is very diverse.  It's free to the public (that's what he wanted) but they rake in quite a bit at the fantastic gift shop that is there (I did help the economy a bit).  The collection was laid out and organized very nicely.  He had wonderful pieces (see a few below).  Then we walked down to a boarding field to see the highland cows- they're quite shaggy!  They look like they could use a haircut : )   Then we had to get back on the bus.  Sad we couldn't see more of Glasgow but we had to head a few hours North to our home for a couple of days- Oban.  Along the way were 'brilliant' views.  A lake, green hills, trees galore.  Got mesmerized along the way. Oban is on a bay and is relatively small but we're using it as our base for the next couple of days.  To end the evening we went to a club to here some Scottish music and see some Scottish dancing.  Very cool.






Let me think....yeah this museum was super cool!
 Love Degas!

I went out on a limb and had a cheese and pickle sandwich-DELICIOUS (as was the dessert)

Cute cow!



Oban, Scotland


Careful with your kilt there sir!
 Fantastic!
