And off we went to see how the salmon is raised, calmed and well, killed.
It sounds babaric, but it was really fascinating. And I'm still eating salmon.
I won't go into details for the weak souls out there, but if we ever see each other I'll be happy to share over a pint.
Spent the night at Creggans Inn, what a beautiful spot with amazing food. I have to say the food in Scotland is amazing.
On our drive back from the killing station (it's not really a nice word, is it), we saw the bigest bull ever. Turns out it wasn't a bull, but a Highland Cow. Now that's a big animal.....with the cutest fringe ever. I wonder if Rufus is part Highland Cow.
Yesterday it was back to Edinburgh with a big decision in the bag. We are going to move into the flat we saw last week. This means the kids will go to a different school than first anticipated, but this one is nice too. The flat is located in the West End, approximately 3 minutes walk from Joels office. Lots to do in the area and right around the corner from, yes, you guessed it, the Castle.
Tonight we're off to watch the England/US game in a pub in Stockbridge, but first we're off to climb Holyrood.
Peace Out.

I am loving the tales of your Scottish adventure and just love that I know the majority of the places you describe. :) WELCOME TO THE UK! Oh, and send me your mobile number, then I'll text you so that you don't have an empty phone. :)
Thanks Tina,
Once I finally have a mobile phone I will surely do that. Nothing worse than an empty phone!!!
I am having such a good time here, I can feel how I have been deprived of anything cultural in the past 4 years and I am taking it all in:)
