that it hadn't rained on us.
The rain free didn't last though. By 11:00 it was on again. No matter.
We have a car and are road tripping.
We headed south from Alyth towards Glamis to check out Glamis Castle.
Easily the biggest we've seen so far and in the best shape. We didn't
take the tour but the exterior was imposimg and grounds were immaculate.
From Glamis we headed towards St Andrews. We stopped at 'The Home of
Golf' and pulled into the pro shop. Snapped some pics of the course
and Swilton Bridge from the viewing deck of the restaurant. We were
soggy and wearing at least two day old clothes, so, being a little
stale for this crowd, we scooted before we were asked to leave.
Lunch at the obligatory pub and then down to St Andrews Cathedral and
university. Snapped a few pics there. The rain was still coming down
pretty hard, and since the roof of the cathedral was destroyed a few
centuries ago providing little protection we decided to head out.
We were going to head as far south as Edinburgh, but we came across a
quaint little fishing village called Crail. Crail has a nice little 5
room hotel called The Golf Hotel with little pub in front. Tradition
has it that a pub has stood on this spot since the 14th century.
Tomorrow: Edinburgh
The pic: The St Andrews Cathedral ruins.
