Peebles Highland Games and Traquair House, Scotland
We are back home from our trip to England And Scotland. I will be posting photos from the trip. While in Peebles, Scotland, at their local Highland Games, we enjoyed many pipe bands. I loved to watch the expressions on the young folk's faces! ( click on the picture to enlarge it, and see the concentration!) After leaving England, we were met in Newcastle and had a wonderful 4 day private tour of the Borders area of Scotland. TRAQUAIR HOUSE Scotland's Oldest Inhabited House. 1107- 2008 Dating back to 1107, it was originally a hunting lodge for the Kings and Queens of Scotland. Later it served as a refuge for Catholic priests in times of terror. The Stuarts of Traquair supported Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobite cause.
