The house we are staying at in the Orkney Islands The house we are staying at in the Orkney Islands has three very friendly barn cats. This one scampered up on my shoulders, when I picked it up. Waylon would do this and hang out up there while I made dinner. I miss him terribly.

Islay Woollen Mill. Still uses 18th and 19th centu Islay Woollen Mill. Still uses 18th and 19th century machines for their fabric. Got to hear stories of an arm ripped off in the willy machine, the costume department from Braveheart, and meeting the queen from the owner. Apparently, when she showed up, his wife told him she was too busy to come down stairs "no matter who it was".

David Douglas studied here as a gardener from 1820 to 1823. Namesake of one of my favorite timbers and trees - the Douglas Fir.

People's Palace Museum and Winter Gardens. Focus o People's Palace Museum and Winter Gardens. Focus on how Glaswegians, lived, worked and played in years gone by. Interesting displays on the many dangers of alcohol, and criminal justice / punishment.
The winter gardens were closed and @davidfogarty5 had to stop me from jumping the fence, and going on my own private tour.
Last photo is the old (recently refurbished for offices and apartments) Templeton Carpet Factory built in 1889 and modelled on the Venetian Doge's Palace.

Took a day trip to #edinburgh and toured the #cast Took a day trip to #edinburgh and toured the #castle . Views were stunning. #woodwork in the great hall was masterful. I asked if they had any information on the carved panels, and they knew nothing about the makers. Plenty of information on war, torture, death, and a grift to donate money supporting soldiers that died a few hundred years ago... 

Even broke my rule of no people in photos to capture Dave preparing to storm the main gate. Finally got him on IG, and has been posting great photos and commentary on our travels. Go see @davidfogarty5 .
Stopped at a maker's / craft fair at The Pearce Ce Stopped at a maker's / craft fair at The Pearce Center in Govan, and bought this print by @massonphotography1 . High quality digital print, matted and ready to frame. Great building. Govan is on the River Clyde, and major historic ship building area of Glasgow.
