1 - We were 'skint' (Scottish way of saying 'Broke')
2 - My Dad had collapsed lungs so was unable to fly for almost 20 years.
Instead of going abroad, my Mum & Dad would take us touring around Scotland where we'd visit historical sites and basically got to explore our wonderful country. Since then,we've been lucky to go abroad and visit some of the wonders of the world. but nowhere is quite like home and we regularly tour Scotland even as adults.
Last week, I took some time out. Myself, my sisters and parents got into the car and drove to Peebles (a small town on the East coast), had a picnic at St Mary's Loch, visited the Grey Mare's Tail and stopped at Moffat to grab some Toffee (which Moffat is famous for).
The weather was stunning all day and we just had a brilliant day.
For me, nothing compares to the Scottish countryside but of course, I'm biased!
