On the last day of our trip we took a bus tour up into the Highlands of Scotland. It was an all day tour with a few stops in some villages. I can now say I have been in the center of Scotland as one of the villages, Aberdeen, resides in the center of the country. We did stop to say hi to "Hamish" the famous Scottish cow which happens to be the oldest breed of cow in the world (dating back to the 12th century). Our trip wrapped up with a whiskey distillery tour, the Grouse Distillery, Scotland's oldest distillery. Unfortunately, I am not a whiskey drinker, so I couldn't tell you if it was good or not. This last day was one of the best. When we did stop at creek in the mountains, I secretly wanted to go hide under a bridge and stay up there. I could have made a decent living weaving wool sweaters. My friend Catherine made me get back on the bus.
