Good afternoon today's entry is really a continuation of yesterday, it was such a glorious afternoon and with the petrol now being 99p per litre haha we thought we would take a little run in the car to the high ground behind where we live.
In this distance you can see towards a hill called Benarty it has lovely crags when you see it up close.
This last picture is of Castle Island on Loch Leven this is castle in which Mary Queen Of Scots was incarcerated in 1567 and was forced to abdicate in favour of her brother James v1 and was later executed in the Tower of London on the orders of Elizabeth 1. This week there has been murmurings about the Scottish Parliament trying to bring back her remains which now lies in Westminster Abbey to Scotland to be bury her in Stirling Castle. We shall wait and see the outcome of that one. Till next time, Love
Joan.

Thanks for letting me know you posted Joan. I've just subscribed to your alerts so should get them in future! Scotland is a beautiful place at this time of year, the photos and history were great. I agree that Mary Queen of Scots should be buried in Scotland. We have her Rosary here in Arundel castle in Sussex. Perhaps we should return that too?! Jeannette xx
