STORYLINE
The United Nations has declared 2002 to be the International Year of Mountains. If you have 14 million dollars to spend you could mark it by buying your very own mountain range - the Black Cuillins. The jagged peaks straddle the Isle of Skye off the west coast of Scotland. They've been put up for sale by the strapped-for-cash chief of the MacLeod clan. But the islanders don't like a price tag on their scenic heritage.

My visit to Edinburgh Castle part 1 เที่ยวปราสาทเอดินบะระ สะก๊อตแลนด์
My visit to Edinburgh Castle part:1 walking through town Royal Mile to got to Edinburgh Castle January 2018. We were passing St Gile cathedral on our way here. A bit of St Gile Cathedral.
St Giles' Cathedral, also known as the High Kirk of Edinburgh,[2] is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 14th century, though it was extensively restored in the 19th century, and is protected as a category A listed building.[3] Today it is sometimes regarded as the Mother Church of Presbyterianism.[4] The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Giles, who is the patron saint of Edinburgh,[5] as well as of cripples and lepers, and was a very popular saint in the Middle Ages. It is the Church of Scotland parish church for part of Edinburgh's Old Town.
St Giles' was only a cathedral in its formal sense (i.e. the seat of a bishop) for two periods during the 17th century (1635–1638 and 1661–1689), when episcopalianism, backed by the Crown, briefly gained ascendancy within the Kirk (see Bishops' Wars). In the mediaeval period, prior to the Reformation, Edinburgh had no cathedral as it was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of St Andrews, whose episcopal seat was St Andrews Cathedral. For most of its post-Reformation history the Church of Scotland has not had bishops, dioceses, or cathedrals. As such, the use of the term cathedral today carries no practical meaning. The High Kirk title is older, being attested well before the building's brief period as a cathedral.

A Few Days In Portree, Isle of Skye
I took myself up to Skye at the end of January 2016 - it was just my luck to go in the middle of the battering the UK has been getting by storms this Winter, with Gertrude being the latest culprit. Still, I managed to have some fun and the views on my way and back again were just stunning. It also means I'll have to go back at some point! :)
2015 British Isles Trip
Family of five trip to the British Isles in 2015, September.
DAY 1: Landed at Gatwick midday. Spent the afternoon sight seeing and walking around London.
DAY 2: Harry Potter tour in the morning, walking around London in the afternoon. Nearly recovered from jet lag.
DAY 3: Left London in the morning via train to Bournemouth. Picked up rental car and then drove to West Bay/Jurassic Coast (where Broadchurch was filmed). Drove to Taunton to stay the night.
DAY 4: Left Taunton to make our way to Cardiff for the Doctor Who Experience. On the way there we met a nice family crabbing at Clevedon Beach. Popped on by Clevedon Hall, then Chepstow Castle in Wales. After lunch, let the kids burn off energy in the Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre. Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay, and then checked out the celebration going on in Bay. Dinner and unexpected late night fireworks.
DAY 5: Walked to the other side of Cardiff for breakfast and exploring. Headed to Fishguard to drop off the car hire and catch a ferry to Ireland. Arrived, picked up new car hire, and checked into a hotel in Wexford. Travel day.
DAY 6: Drove toward Ennis where our hotel was and to see the Cliffs of Moher, our primary activity for that day.
DAY 7: Walked around Ennis in the morning looking at the sites like the Ennis Friary. Then drove towards Poulnabrone Dolmen. Stopped by the Caherconnell fort (caherconnell.com) and was amazed with the sheepdog demonstration. On to the Dolmen and the Burren. Afterwards headed to Dublin where we dropped off the car hire.
DAY 8: Woke up in Dublin and spent the day exploring the city on foot. Lots of different sites such as Dublinia, Christ Church Cathedral, Guinness and Jameson, Book of Kells, and let the kids get some playtime in at St. Patrick’s Park.
DAY 9: Still in Dublin for the morning. Played in St. Stephen’s Green before catching a train to Belfast. Switched to a local commuter train to take us to Larne where we stayed for the night.
DAY 10: Larne was an overnight stay to catch a ferry to Scotland. Arrived in Troone and then walked (AND walked!) to the local train station to take a train to Glasgow. Dropped our bags off at the hotel and then walked to the Glasgow Science Centre where the kids had a nice afternoon playing & learning.
DAY 11: Picked up our final car hire in Glasgow and then started to drive towards Fort William. On the way there we stopped at Doune Castle (who wouldn’t?!) and had a nice lunch in town. Kids are huge Monty Python fans and loved the tour. (Parents are also huge Outlander fans and loved it as well). The drive was fantastic. Stopped more than once just to take pictures. We stayed overnight in a lovely place in Ardgour.
DAY 12: Headed towards Fort William to do the Steall Gorge and Waterfall wall. The Scots are serious about their hill walks! After the walk, we headed towards the Isle of Skye. Stopped at Eileen Donan Castle to snap a quick pic before taking a walk at the Fairy Pools. Got a wee bit of Scottish weather that day! We did get some nice rainbows, however.
DAY 13: Left Portree to do the Quiraign Walk. Somehow we got off the designated path while trying to walk up the hill. Decided to follow everyone else and went until we reached a spot that was a bit too treacherous for our youngest. Maybe also our oldest (i.e. James). Took our time leaving Skye, making sure to stop at many sites along the way. Stopped at Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness on the way to Inverness. We were treated to an actual wedding that was going on that day.
DAY 14: First of a two night stay in Inverness. On the first day we had a private tour guide that took us to Clava Cairns, Culloden Moor, and Cawdor Castle and gardens. It was a very Outlander themed day!
DAY 15: Took the scenic route to Edinburgh through the Cairngorms Nation Park. Very lovely, if adventurous drive! Checked into our hotel and then spent the afternoon wondering around Edinburgh on foot. St. Giles’ Cathedral, Greyfriars Kirkyard, The Elephant House, and we explored some of Edinburgh Castle (among others!).
DAY 16: Explored Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat. The weather was great so we took our time on the walk. Even found some yummy wild berries to snack on. Left Edinburgh to head back to Glasgow. On the walk, we stopped to see the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel.
DAY 17: A bit of a travel day, we took the train to head back to London. Walked around and saw more sights in London that afternoon and evening. Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Piccadilly Circus among other attractions.
DAY 18: On our last day we met with family for lunch after a little more sight seeing. After that we took a train to the airport and headed back home via JFK.

Robert The Bruce - Dunfermline Abbey [4K/UHD]
I visit the actual grave of Robert The Bruce, King of Scotland, inside Dunfermline Abbey in Fife, Scotland.
Robert died in June 1329. His body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey, while his heart was interred in Melrose Abbey and his internal organs embalmed and placed in St Serf’s Chapel, Dumbarton, site of the medieval Cardross Parish church.
Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: Roibert a Briuis; modern Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart Bruis; Norman French: Robert de Brus or Robert de Bruys; Early Scots: Robert Brus; Latin: Robertus Brussius), was King of Scots from 1306 until his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation, and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is today revered in Scotland as a national hero.
Descended from the Anglo-Norman and Gaelic nobility, his paternal fourth great-grandfather was King David I. Robert's grandfather, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, was one of the claimants to the Scottish throne during the Great Cause. As Earl of Carrick, Robert the Bruce supported his family's claim to the Scottish throne and took part in William Wallace's revolt against Edward I of England. Appointed in 1298 as a Guardian of Scotland alongside his chief rival for the throne, John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, and William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, Robert later resigned in 1300 due to his quarrels with Comyn and the apparently imminent restoration of John Balliol to the Scottish throne. After submitting to Edward I in 1302 and returning to the king's peace, Robert inherited his family's claim to the Scottish throne upon his father's death.
In February 1306, Bruce having wounded Comyn, rushed from the church where they met and encountered his attendants outside. Bruce told them what had happened and said, I must be off, for I doubt I have slain the Red Comyn, Doubt? Roger de Kirkpatrick of Closeburn answered, I mak sikker, (I'll make sure, or I make sure) and rushing into the church, killed Comyn. For this Bruce was then excommunicated by the Pope (although he received absolution from Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow). Bruce moved quickly to seize the throne and was crowned king of Scots on 25 March 1306. Edward I's forces defeated Robert in battle, forcing him to flee into hiding before re-emerging in 1307 to defeat an English army at Loudoun Hill and wage a highly successful guerrilla war against the English. Bruce defeated his other Scots enemies, destroying their strongholds and devastating their lands, and in 1309 held his first parliament. A series of military victories between 1310 and 1314 won him control of much of Scotland, and at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Robert defeated a much larger English army under Edward II of England, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom. The battle marked a significant turning point, with Robert's armies now free to launch devastating raids throughout northern England, while also extending his war against the English to Ireland by sending an army to invade there and by appealing to the Irish to rise against Edward II's rule.
Despite Bannockburn and the capture of the final English stronghold at Berwick in 1318, Edward II refused to renounce his claim to the overlordship of Scotland. In 1320, the Scottish nobility submitted the Declaration of Arbroath to Pope John XXII, declaring Robert as their rightful monarch and asserting Scotland's status as an independent kingdom. In 1324, the Pope recognised Robert I as king of an independent Scotland, and in 1326, the Franco-Scottish alliance was renewed in the Treaty of Corbeil. In 1327, the English deposed Edward II in favour of his son, Edward III, and peace was concluded between Scotland and England with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton, by which Edward III renounced all claims to sovereignty over Scotland.
