South from the border
« Not walked | Beaumont »

I love Scotland. Last time I was north of the border was May 2000. And now I'm back, briefly. While my car enjoyed a day basking under the Scottish sun, I headed south, crossing the border within minutes.

This isn't the first time I've popped north for the day. The last time was in the late 80s, when our family took advantage of an insane railway ticket offer. The girls spent the day in Edinburgh, but us boys stayed on the train to Dundee so we could cross the Forth and Tay bridges. (Ah, those days...)
