Fun Stuff Scotland • Folksy Travel by Bill Smale

there’s not too much here but if you’re interested in fun stuff Scotland there’s plenty of it. The Scot’s have a great sense of humor, love to talk with visitors and have very interesting stories to tell. So when you’re in Scotland just go around, relax, talk with people and take lots of photos of interesting stuff.

a fun entrance — This was the entrance to my very nice bed-and-breakfast room. It seems obvious that this was a servant quarters. The people living here had enough money so they didn’t have to challenge this kind of entrance.

Standard Scottish breakfast — this is a very typical breakfast with the ham and eggs, blood sausage and mushrooms. You find this pretty much everywhere since it seems to be the standard breakfast. But I think that’s true pretty much wherever you go, the standard breakfast is served. Some of it sounds a little bit odd with the blood sausage, haggis and some other interesting names but actually they have a lot more flavor than what you get in England. I think it’s too bad that Scotland took their basic breakfast ideas from England but at least they made it much better.

A Pictish stone — I have some other photos of this monument up close but this is one of the inscribed tablets from the picts. It is well encased and very nicely displayed. The reason I like this photo is it kind of looks like an alien monolith in the Scottish countryside waiting for the invasion.

An old temple covered with bushes — This is one of the old temple mounds which they decided they didn’t want to maintain over the Covid era so I just got swallowed up by the bush

Sheep everywhere — The legacy of the Sutherlands, sheep everywhere
