Scotland 2023
Posts from our trip to Scotland from September 12-22, 2023. Heather and I took Heather’s parents on an itinerary that included Oban, the Isle of Iona, the Isle of Skye, the countryside surrounding Inverness, and Edinburgh. Along the way, we met up with our friend Owen, and his brother-in-law Tam.
Can someone who’s paying more attention to the Apple event than me tell me if the case size of the iPhone 15 Pro has changed from the iPhone 13/14 Pro? I hope it didn’t get embiggened. (I can’t tune in today.)

Landed in Edinburgh yesterday. The flight was uneventful, but we did have to wait about an hour in customs for our luggage to arrive.

First stop: Stirling Castle, the historic seat of Scottish kings and queens. I was surprised at how big it is. I think it might be even larger than Edinburgh Castle.

While at Stirling Castle, Heather, Ted (my father-in-law), and Dianne (my mother-in-law) got a guided tour of the site that was quite well done.

After we finished at Stirling, we drove to Oban where we met up with our friend Owen.

Now, the next day, we’re all on a ferry to the Isle of Mull. We’ll drive to the other side of the island and then catch a second ferry to Iona.

Yesterday, after disembarking from the ferry, we drove across the Isle of Mull towards Iona. There is one road, that’s one lane wide, with occasional “passing places” marked with black and white striped poles where one car can pull over to make way for oncoming traffic. It’s a little tricky at first, but you soon learn the rhythm.
