It's one of the things I miss in New Zealand where European settlers didn't arrive until the mid 1800s and Maori didn't build castles (and didn't have the wheel).Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-20685774293488600112012-07-01T18:26:26.246+01:002012-07-01T18:26:26.246+01:00It has, Carol.

In fact if we really keep our eyes open many of us see beauty every day. It's a question of what we regard as beauty. For me the countryside and particularly water and mountains are particularly beautiful.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-29621709511561860152012-06-30T17:57:03.177+01:002012-06-30T17:57:03.177+01:00Oh Katherine there is so much to see in Scotland. ...Oh Katherine there is so much to see in Scotland.

When we were there yesterday there were a lot of cars and coaches but it's all big enough for it not to appear crowded.

They are giving out "severe weather" warnings here in South Germany, too, but so far, nothing has happened; we've had a tropical day of around 35 Celsius and sunshine and very high humidity yesterday, today doesn't look much different (yet). <br />The picture of the castle is fantastic!! Looking at it makes me instantly want to go there and have a closer look. Is it open to the public? Does anyone live there?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
