My girlfriend and I recently took a tour around the west coast, thought I'd post some photos.

Great photos Scott! Maybe someday I'll get to see all these places in person.

Hi Scott!

Good to see you back online and with such GREAT pictures! Wow....what a beautiful country. As the possibility of ever getting to Scotland looks pretty slim right now, I can 'live vicariously' through your photos    I know we all appreciate you taking the time and thought to post these .....and to identify them! So often we see photos of "place" in Scotland but they don't always identify the locations.

I have this secret hope that we will get our Lyon Court recognition and then we'll hold our Annual General Meeting in the borders of Scotland to celebrate! It would give members an additional "oomph" to get to Scotland - that we would all be together celebrating our ancestry, history and future...........

Super Photos Scott
Mary and I finally got our passports so now we are trying to save money for a trip to Scotland

Great pictures.

   I don't have the money to return to Scotland. So I am working on a secret plan to be adopted by John and Mary. That way I can go as their long lost son!

Beautiful photos Scott, thank you for posting.  I know I'll only see Scotland through photos so I appreciate any and all of Scotland.  I have Duart Castle from the Loch as wallpaper on my desk top computer.     You are so fortunate to live among so much history and beauty.
