Castles, cathedrals, pubbing, gorgeous accents, kilts. How bad can it be?? Well, there is Haggis, but we've pledged to try it in the spirit of adventure. Let you know how THAT turns out.

Hi Becky & Dee, Would you be so kind as to tell me why you are presenting 2 of my photos (Photos 2 & 3) as yours??? Photo 2 is of 'me' taken in front of 'MY" ancestral home in June 2000. Photo 3 is my husband talking to the present owner in the back yard of Canada Cottage. Where did you get these photos & why are you presenting them falsely as 'yours'...even going so far as to date them??
