Day 3 - Thirlestane Castle

So far I have not said much about where Karen and I had been staying. It was a small bed and breakfast owned by a very nice old lady named Alma. The first three pictures are of it. The inside was very nicely decorated and the place was very comfortable. The breakfast was also wonderful.
The silver car in this picture is the one Karen rented. At first I found driving on the left weird. After a little bit though I got used to it. I guess since I could never remember which was right and which was left switching them was not too difficult.The name on the sign here is the name of the house. Almost all the houses are named here.












On the third day we got up early and checked out of the bed and breakfast. We then went to see Thirlestane Castle. I really, really liked the castle. There has been a lot of work done on restoring it so the majority of it looks how it would have looked when people lived there. We did not mean to spend the whole morning there as we were leaving for Glasgow but there was just so much to see! The inside was beautiful although I unfortunately did not get any pictures of it.
