Well, we've visited a number of cathedrals, entire and ruined, and so far the highlights for me have been the extraordinary ruin at Fountains Abbey (look it up) and the magnificent Durham cathedral.

We spent most of yesterday in Edinburgh before driving to Kinross where we spent the night before going on to St Andrews; while I spent some time with Audrey and Robin, Tat went to investigate the ruined cathedral. Then we spent the rest of the day driving to the youth hostel at Carbisdale Castle (again, look it up) which is an outrageous nineteenth-century castle situated beside a loch in the highlands. On the way we passed through some beautiful and amazing countryside.
