    HI Robbie!
    "Mare's tail" is one of the best desriptions for a waterfall I have ever heard!
    See things? In the UK? ha ha ha
    I tend to think of the Highlands as interesting places with interesting people while the south is sort of boring with boring ppl. Please do not tell Graeme I said that! My Godmother's friends who's family is from Scotland are a bit over the top. One year, we were at an Ethnic Festival and the Dad was wearing a kilt, which was perfect. But his wife was wearing a dress from the lowlands and it was dull. Mostly just white with a bit of trim.
    I love going places with signs. I am somewhat obsessed. And visitor's centers! I am also somewhat obsessed with postcards and refridgerator magnets.
    Glad you are feeling better! Ugh, a week of vomiting. :(
    I would love to have gone fishing there! Surprised we do not see more fisherman in your videos. I mean, one would be an improvement.
    So, aren't your kids sad when they are not able to go along on these trips? They should be allowed off school for them and given credit if they write up a report on them.
    Blessings!

    Thank you! Every time you post a video where it is raining it makes me nostalgic for all the outings I went on with my grandparents, who lived in Kirkcaldy. No excursion was ever cancelled due to weather because "it might clear up." I've been to the Trossachs twice but have only ever seen heavy shrouds of mist.
