Days Out - Rosslyn Chapel
Visited Rosslyn Chapel yesterday and was a bit disappointed. One, we somehow managed to pick about the one historic monument we can't get into for free. We have family memberships for both Historic Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland. Two, you are not allowed to take photographs on the inside (managed to sneak a couple in the crypt but there not great) and as you can see its not the best for taking photographs on the outside either. And three, the pain in the arse tour guide, who basically told us all to be quiet if you weren't part of the tour. I have a 6 month old daughter who the concept of being quiet hasn't registered yet. Apart from that I still had a good day out.

Days Out - Craignethan Castle
Spent the day out yesterday at Craignethan Castle. It's a Historic Scotland property. We had a great day. The weather help. It's a very good place to visit if history or castles are you thing. It's a bit off the beaten track and you have to drive a couple of miles on a single track roads to get to it. Worth it in my opinion. Not sure of the entry price as I have a membership so its free for me.
Next time when we go back, we'll be taking a picnic and sitting out in the inner courtyard.
Finished of the day of with a cracking meal at the Tillietudlem Inn and a couple of pints of best.
