Yup, still some family living over there. We went to Lochearnhead to meet up with my dad's aunt Nainnie, who is, I believe, at 88 one of two remaining siblings of my grandpa's still living. We also met a few of my grandpa's cousins and my dad's cousins and others too. I couldn't really keep track of it all. Lots of Donalds and Margarets. ALl very pleasant though. It was really enriching and meaningful to meet family but also rather sad to know I wouldn't be seeing most, if not all, of them again. You would love it if you do end up making the effort to seek out some family, Phorbesie. They're out there! Here is little Aunt Nainnie as I saw her for the last time.
Yeah, QQC, I really dug those cows too! Highland cows (pronounced eeland coos) were wandering all around in the pasture behind the cottage we stayed at. I walked right up to them. They're tame unless they have a calf, I guess.
Thanks LJFH! And yes, HHOF! Awesome, I'll pm you. Yeah, I definitely plan on going back to Scotland in 20 years or so. A much easier going way of life over there for sure.
I should mention, that sculpture above of 'Wild Man' stood (or sat I shoudl say) I estimate 12 feet tall. Do a google image search for RON MUECK to see some other great sculptures he did. I only grabbed a photo of that one because each piece had its own guard watching it, making sure no one took photos.
