map and photos!

Here is a map of our most recent trip!!

Now, PHOTOS!!

To start, here's a photo of our back garden after the heavy snowfall and freeze in Glasgow:

And our front gate:

Now, once we arrived in Beauly (Inverness-shire) for David's classes, we realized they had even more snow than Glasgow!  Here are a few photos from a walk David and I took in the snow with James, one of the other students.

Looking out over the Inverness countryside.

Looking back down the path we walked up.

 

Walking across the snowy shinty field. Shinty is a traditional Highland sport.

Trying to give an idea how deep the snow was.  You can see where my knees are bent slightly to give perspective.  It was to my upper shins.  The snow was so icy that you had to break through the top crust to walk, and while obviously the snow was deep enough that you can't see my boots, you couldn't break through the bottom frozen layer of snow to the ground.

Walking back up the drive to the Beauly manse where we stay during our trips to Inverness for classes.

Icicles hanging from the manse roof!

More photos to come. . . :-)
