We arrived in Greenock Scotland around 6am this morning. Greenock lies on the River Clyde and is the port for Glasgow, about 15 miles upstream. Today was our tour entitled "The Scottish Experience: Landscapes, Lochs and Sheepdogs," and it was amazing. The only downer was the weather, which may have limited some our of views of the Highlands of Scotland.
We had a most wonderful tour guide who told up stories of Scottish history and sang Scottish folks songs. On the way back to the ship, we acted out the life of Mary Queen of Scots--mom and I were ladies in waiting.
The sheep dogs were just gorgeous and it was nice to get some puppy loving while being away from my love monkeys. Don't worry, we didn't bring anymore animals back to the ship with us.
We had lunch at a lovely hotel with amazing gardens and colors of rhododendron and azalea I had never seen before. We headed then deep into the Highlands, for our cruise on Lake Katrine, home of Rob Roy Macgregor. I bought a most fabu Kilt at the woolen center and a 100% cashmere scarf for a mere 19L. We are exhausted but in love with Scotland and Ireland so.
There is a massive line for computers though, so I'll keep this short for now.
