Eastern holiday trip – part 1 – What to do in Inveraray, Scotland!

Hi Guys,

Has been a while, sorry for that! However, I have much new information to share with you.. the trip has been wonderful… We didn’t exactly use the route I posted before.. we made some extra stops.. I’ll post the new route next week.

We left Paisley on Friday at 8.30h with our 1.2 Opel (Vauxhall) Corsa. We were lucky with the rental car.. Arnold Clark had an offer to rent the car for 5 days and pay for 3 of them.

First stop was in Inveraray, beautiful small fishers’ man village. I mentioned it before in the post about castle hopping.. Check out more pictures in the new album on Facebook.

Edinburgh, The Heart Of Midlothian, Why so Mysterious?

Guys, Have you ever heard about the heart of Midlothian?

It's built into the pavement near the West Door of the St. Giles High Kirkin, which is located on the high street section of the Royal mile in Edinburgh. 

Behind the Church you still can see the seperation lines of the Tolbooth (prison), where executions used to take place. The heart marks the doorway to the point of public execution. It is told that it would bring you good luck if you would spit in the middle of the heart.

So, now you know why you saw people spitting on the ground in Edinburgh....  ;)

Need more luck in your life? You know where to go ;)

Happy Easter holiday everyone!
