We visited St Andrews Cathedral	Anne and her Mom	David and Anne's Mom
Then we visited St Andrews Castle	David showed her his department's building	And the New Arts Building where his advisor's office is
We look out over the Old Course	And have dinner at Anne's favorite: the Thai resturant	We go to see Scone Palace
And the Stone of Destiny where Scottish Kings were crowned	The Palace had white peacocks	And very friendly regular peacocks
The white peacock wants some of David's snack	There is also a hedge maze	Hairy Coos at the palace
And a goat and her kids	We also visit the Wemyss Pottery	We take Anne's Mom for fish and chips in Anstruther
Where David collects sand for his gaming	Anne's Mom in Cellardyke	Anne and her Mom cross the Firth of Forth
And take a taxi...	Up the hill to Edinburgh Castle	Anne's Mom inside the castle grounds
A hall at the castle	Looking out over Edinburgh from the castle	Outside the castle are people acting as statues
We go to the Thai Orchid for lunch	We take Felsh Market Close back to the rail station	During Anne's Mom's visit Erin, Brett, and their daughter Katy visit
David and Anne take her Mom north, where we pass sheep on the road	And some old cars going the other way	Finally, we reach Loch Ness over which a fighter jet flies!
Anne at Loch Ness	David at Loch Ness	We visit Castle Urchart on the Loch
Gorse at Castle Urchart	Castle Urchart's entrance	Going up a tower at the castle
Anne's Mom stays below	Anne on the tower	Mergansers on the Loch (apparently sometimes mistaken for a monster...)
We find the Loch Ness Monster and David says hi	Anne feeds a Loch Ness Monster	We stay at a hotel in Inverness
And on the way home keep seeing more Loch Ness Monsters	A final view of a highland valley
