Today after saying goodbye to the students and staff of Farr Primary School, I started a road trip  to Aberdeen. My goal was to see at least three historic castles. I managed to see Brodie Castle, Huntly Castle and Tolquhon Castle and also found the lovely Pitmedden Garden. Then I made an unexpected tour of downtown Aberdeen!  I am so thankful I have a fairly reliable internal compass. Next trip abroad, I am bringing an international phone with satellite navigation! My room for the night is great, and now it's time to go exploring for some fish & chips!

    These are lovely. Locations, please? I like the ruined castles better that the others, obviously, but these are all fabulous. I especially like your stairwell and mossy window pictures. It looks like the castle hunt was a success.

    Castle hunting is quite easy, really. They appear nearly everywhere! Tolquhon was my favorite on Friday. It was the most ruined, bit the stairs, wall, and towers were still accessible. The land around was stunning, too.
