Scotland!!!

Hello again everyone!

This past weekend I went to Scotland with Keeley. We left Friday night and arrived back to Bangor Monday afternoon. We had a lot of fun.

Friday and Saturday night we stayed with my friend Owen in Glasgow. On Saturday we were given a tour of Glasgow by Owen and went shopping. He took us to the Kevingrove Art Gallery and Museum and to Glasgow University. It was great to see Owen again because the last time I saw him was about 2 years ago.Front of Glasgow UniversityGlasgow UniversityArt school!Architecture building.. this is where Owen goes to schoolFar off view of Kevingrove Art Gallery and MuseumMuseum with a view of the river tooMuseumHuge dogPeople all dressed upInside the museumDog made of welliesHuge antlered animalDinosaurReal mummy... coolThis is where we went shoppingGlasgow city hall

Sunday we woke up way to early and took the train to Edinburgh. We went on a Heart of Scotland Tour. It took us to see 2 castles and the statue of William Wallace. The tour was great and we really had a good time! After our tour we walked around for about an hour trying to find our hostel and once we found it we got something to eat and went to bed.The map of where we went on our tour... follow the green Excited about our tourBeautiful ScotlandPicture out the busAlong the coastScottish coastKeeley and IMeMore bus picturesBamburgh CastleView from the castleBamburgh CastleI thought this was kinda coolCastleKeeley and IPeople were kite surfing and we wanted to tryMe with a cannonThis was coolBeautiful viewsAlnwick Castle... a lot of the Harry Potter films used this as a filming siteAlnwick CastleAlnwick CastleAlnwick CastleAlnwick CastleI thought this was coolView from the castleMe and Keeley on the castle wallsAlnwick CastleA big tree with pink blossomsCute seeing eye dog in training!The gardens were beautifulIvy tunnelLooking out the windowThe Poison Garden... dum dum dumSo scaryPoison plantsMore poison plantsMandrake like on harry potter.. hahaIvy tunnel in poison gardenTreehouse in the gardensScary bridgeAnother bridgeThe big part of the treehouse is through the treesBeautiful views!The sun through the treesA fence :)A couple hills in the backgroundWilliam Wallace statueWilliam Wallace A little trail by the statueMe with William Wallace... heheMe and Keeley with William WallaceMeWilliam WallaceAwesome view.. the three hills!Me with the view!Me and Keeley!Amazing!!Me again! :)The bus we rode on all day!Keeley and I making silly faces on the busCheesy grins!
