Well, needed to spend two days in synagogue so now it's time to talk about the Scotland trip! There's lots to tell so it will probably take a few days to reflect on all of it!
We left from Newark airport and flew to Manchester...the plan was an hour layover in Manchester and then on to Edinburgh. Well, you know the best made plans...there was a medical emergency so we couldn't land in Manchester on schedule. That meant, of course, that we missed our connecting plane, so arrived in Edinburgh at 5:00 instead of the scheduled 10:00.
Jean and Craig (Stephen's parents) were our gracious hosts! By far the best B & B we've ever been to! After partaking in some delicious sandwiches and Jean's delicious gingerbread we took the local bus into old town and went to the musuem. The entryway to through the old part of the building was breathtaking! There was so much to see we felt certain you could go back many times and still find new things to see! Just to make sure you're always surprised by the exhibits they change them as well! I was surprised to see an artist that specialized in languages using Hebrew letters in his work! There was an Andy Warhol exhitib in another museum hence the Campbell soup motif!
The organ is from St Giles, in Old Town. What a lovely organ with pipes that reach to the ceiling! Very impressive!
Then the bus back to the Duncan's for a lovely dinner of Jean's special fish pie. Similiar to our Shepard's pie but with smoked Haddock. Very, very lovely!
Early to bed with a mid morning departure to the Highlands!
