Scotland

And then there is Scotland.........home of golf and St. Andrews, the bagpipes, the clans and the tartans, Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots, the Highlands and the Borders, castles, crags, salmon and haggis, Edinburgh and the Military Tatto. Scotland has always been the feisty one that stood alone and fought for everything they could find any reason to fight.....and if England went one way, they naturally went the other. It was only because the last Tudor, Elizabeth I, died without an heir, that they ever agreed on anything, and James I became ruler of both England and Scotland.
Today, you can view Robert the Bruce's battlefield of Brannockburn, the aged city of Edinburgh with its castles, and the bustling city of Glasgow. The highlands are as barren as ever, but the golf courses are full. St. Andrews is a delight to both golfers and sightseers, not only offering the famous original golf course, but the ruins of its famous cathedral where Robert the Bruce and many other monarchs were crowned. Glasgow's jewel is the miniature museum, The Burrell Collection.
