WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

We've kept ourselves busy trying to update friends and family about our work and travels in Scotland. We thought the best way might be to publish a family blog. I'm a novice and will try my best to get this going with as much flair as I can muster. Please enjoy and leave your comments.


Saturday, July 3, 2010

On a recent Saturday we drove to Floors Castle and Gardens in Kelso. We had lunch at a little Inn. We met a couple from Florida and another Scottish couple who were interested in what we were doing in Scotland. Over lunch we explained our mission and our assignment at the archives. We enjoyed our visit and our lunch. Kelso was full of people we had fun walking around the city square and then on to the Castle and the gardens. I loved the beds of peonies in bloom, notice the plastic lattice to hold them upright. The ivy covered walls surrounded the walled garden and the beds of summer blooms were so pretty even on an overcast day. Then the amazing roofline of the castle. We toured through the rooms, no pictures we were too busy gawking.
