Southern Scotland

Today the bus took us from Edinburgh South through the country to see the ruins of the Abbey at Jedburgh. From there we went to the coast to see the Seabird center at North Berwick.

The Scottish countryside is not a lot different from what we see in Oregon. Rolling hills under cloudy skies and light rain falling. When we got to Jedburgh we saw the old three tier abbey.

At North Berwick we saw the small boat harbor. The tides are really high here in Scotland so when the tides are out as they were when we were there the boats are sitting on the bottom.

Also at North Berwick is the Scottish Seabird Center. We ate lunch there and while I have an overall photo of the center my favorite is this photo up through the skylight and chandelier.

This week we’ve been in Edinburgh and there has been free wifi in the lobby. Tomorrow we’ll be in Aberdeen and we probably will not have wifi. In the highlands we probably will not have wifi. I’ll keep writing the blogs and I’ll put them up where and when I can…
