I wanted to say a couple things that I missed. One thing we did a few morn8 gs ago was visit a Highland Cattle farm. I was thinking “Ho hum”..but I was so wrong. This very interesting couple from Edinburgh made a huge career change about 23 years ago…giving up their CPA jobs and plunging head on into cattle farming.Now, they open their land and home up for tours, and we went on one. We spent hours riding around in a tractor. Petting and combing these gentle animals. We learned so much about sheep ranching and Highland cows, or coos….as they call them. It was a blast and one of the best days!
Yesterday am we met with two fine Scottish gentleman (who happen to be friends and co
workers in an architectural firm) but had very opposing views on Scotlands future. One wants to stay in UK and the other wants to succeed and form their own separate country. It’s was a lively discussion and included a lot of history and policies and politics and right up my alley. We asked questions and got to join in their discussion and compared US issues. Could have spent all day as they were so engaging, but we were on our way to a Scotch whiskey tasting!
