Morningstar Inn
| February 14, 2012 | Posted by admin under Uncategorized |
We stayed at a great inn in the heart of town called the Morningstar Inn. It is just a a few blocks from the main street with great shops and many good resturants. Our hosts were wonderful. It turns out that they purchased this as an enormous single familly home in 2000 and converted it to a B&B that opened in 2001. All of the updates are perfectly blended to maintain the original integrity of the home’s features and the billards room, glassed-in porch, living and dining rooms, and the all-important butler’s pantry that’s open for drinks around the clock.

Grave site at Rosslyn Chapel
| January 30, 2011 | Edinburgh Day 2, Paul, Vetur Undraland |
While Dan Brown made famous much of the symbolism within the chapel (for which the chapel stewards are very grateful), this grave site outside was interesting on its own. I think this was back in the day when you could pick these up at the Stone Depot. more

We left the River View apartments, our two day home base in Glasgow today and headed north to see the Highlands. Glasgow was clear this morning when we started. As we have heard more than once when commenting on the weather, “Ah yes, in 15 mins that will change”. And so it did. As we… more
