Scotland!!!

We had a wonderful trip so Scotland!!!  Eight people from our church, including my husband, our 14 yr old daughter, and I, went to visit one of our missionaries.  The Lord worked and the missionaries were very encouraged!  

We had great weather!!  It was warm and sunny most of the time there!  (Then we came home and it snowed a little the next day!!)  Here's just a few pics (just a few of the 1,197 I took!) that don't even come close to truly showing the beauty of this wonderful country!  But I tried! :D

The coastline as we flew into Aberdeen


Beautiful countryside!



Picturesque town of Macduff



The town of Cullen on North Sea


The ruins of Findlater Castle


Duff House in Banff
(I got to play a 1890's fully restored Bechstein here!!)



Gorgeous scenery everywhere!!


Sand dunes along the North Sea just north of Aberdeen


Loch Ness


Portsoy Harbour... built in the 1700's


Dunnottar Castle in the fog... kinda creepy!


Fyvie Castle


Coastal town of Pennan


St. John's Kirk... built in 1004!!!


How cool is this???  It's Windsor Castle as we flew into London


I saved the best 'til last.... 

Oh my goodness!!!  There's Nessie!!!  :-)
One of our group made took this.  ;-)
