Scotland Picspam

[selenak]

Having spent the day with wychwood (about which there shall be writing tomorrow or on Wednesday), I present a selection of the pictures the AP made in Scotland. As always, if anyone wants to use one for an icon, feel free. If anyone wants to make me an icon, feel freer.




I think that was near Glen Coe




Loch Levan:




Loch Duich, with the Aged Parent's favourite Scottish castle:





Dunnottar, aka where I'd film MacBeth:



Edinburgh. Love the city, love the Royal Mile:




And here's royality, aka my father the anti-royalist playing paparazzo - Princess Anne arriving:


I give you the Military Tattoo:



"The most innovative military band of the world", aka the New Zealanders doing the haka:



The finale, with all bands present:



Abbotsford, aka The House Walter (Scott) Build:



...near Melrose Abbey. Who can blame him? The abbey is...

I totally WANT Walter Scott's house. It's perfect.

has it got electricity?

[selenak.livejournal.com]

It has, what with all the alarm systems.*g*

[artaxastra.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! And Melrose particularly is lovely.

Isn't it? If I were a Scottish writer, I'd want to live nearby, too.*g*

Oh, Scotland Scotland!

Only, in a happier if still somewhat wistful way.

*stretching a bit for a 'Macbeth' icon*

Quite. BTW, his castle can be visited, too, but it was just on the other side of the country, so we couldn't go.

Beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for posting these.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

*whimper*

oh, how I miss Scotland. And Edinburgh.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

They're both incredible.

Yay, the haka!

I love Eilean Donan, the AP's favourite castle, too. All my pics are in albums though.

Ever since the AP discovered the digital camera, our albums ended up as computer files and the occasional print-out...

The New Zealanders were really the highlight of the show.

:-D I saw a haka at a funeral a couple of weeks ago and it sent shivers down my spine. It's an awesome (in the proper sense) thing to behold.

I also love to watch a waka (Maori canoe) on the water.
