We're goin to Scotland!!

This is Hamish the Highland Coo. I think 'Coo' is just how the Scots pronounce 'Cow', *giggles*. We're going all the way to Scotland to see him. By the way, the photo is off the website of the tour we're doing as this hairy beast may be wild but is neither of our ideas of sexy. The company that does the tours is called Haggis Adventures (thanks to Amy for mentioning it or we'd never have thought of it) how kool is that?! They sound REALLY fun and we can't wait to get started!

We had a spare week to spend in the UK before starting work on the Isle of Skye and upon discovering the costs of seeing things ourselves, it worked out almost as cheap (and much more informative and fun) to do a wee tour. So we'll be seeing Edinburgh, heading up to the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Harris, a quick look at the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness and the William Wallace monument. Plus, the day before we start off from Edinburgh we will be going to see the Edinburgh Military Tattoo!! Super excited about that!

Mostly I am just intrigued with the idea of meeting this Hamish character. In fact, I have been chuckling about 'Hamish' meeting Hamish for so long now, that the real Hamish is threatening to gore me. Just look at him! How can he even see??
