Welcome to Scotland


We are Da Vinci Code fans, thus we had to stop at Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh.  If you aren't familiar with the tale, Rosslyn Chapel is supposedly the resting place of the Holy Grail.  We explored the church inside and out - even climbing down into the catacombs - but unfortunately, the vaults are sealed so we weren't able to confirm if the legend is true.  Regardless, it was a truly amazing and unique church/cathedral with plenty of mystery and magnificent architecture.  (Too bad we weren't allowed to take photos inside!)
Amy discovered some loose stones on the exterior and figures there must be buried treasure!
From Rosslyn it was less than 2 hours driving to our cottage near Aberfeldy/Perth.  We enjoyed settling into our enormous 'cottage' with fabulous views of the Highlands.
