Pitlochry Day 2

Full morning agenda today. First, we headed off to Queen's View about 10 miles away. Queen Victoria visited Scotland (becoming the first sitting Queen to visit Scotland after unification with England) in the mid-19th century and she declared the lookout view there to be the most beautiful. It was truly gorgeous.

From there, we headed to Blair Castle, where we toured inside the castle (Ang was particularly impressed with the room that had about 300 different sets of china) and across the vast grounds outside.

Then it was off to Bruar Falls - where we hiked a good mile back into the woods to see the falls themselves. That is a lot accomplished and it was barely 1pm.










We had one more spot on our agenda before lunch and that was Edradour whiskey distillery - the smallest distillery in all of Scotland. There, they let us have a free sample (tasty) and then a tour of how they make whiskey the way it was always done before larger, higher technology took over. Their single malt whiskey is famous all over Scotland as being one of the superior products - and we bought a bottle to enjoy back home. We headed back to our B&B and then had lunch at McKay's - where Bob parked it after a exercise filled morning to watch the final round of the British Open. Ang went shopping briefly and then came back to watch Tiger win the Open and his 10th major.

By 7pm, we headed off to walk more of the town and came across a huge 18 hole putting green - where you pay a couple pounds to play a round. This is better than miniature golf since it is a real grass green - and it is much better than what you find at a golf course in State as it was huge... we had a blast... We continued to walk around and make it to the dam in the town, where the Salmon jump in season. From there, we had dinner at a local Indian restaurant just to do something different than the pubs.
