50. Cultural Appropriation!
Thu May 6, 2021, 12:28 PM
May 2021


See my other posts - we did see two kilts while in Scotland, one formal.

We skipped the Tattoo. I dislike crowds and after watching a video of it, it seemed too theme park style for my tastes with all the lights and fireworks. We did spend four nights at a B&B just outside of Edinburgh but we spent our time driving around Loch Ness and visiting RSPB preserves in the area. Those are more our tastes than any city.
