Spattering of Scottish Shenanigans

Metal concert in Glasgow. The main act, Sabaton, is a band from Sweden.



21st Alloa Octoberfest. A great event full of many wonderful local brews. Befriended one of the bartenders and got much more beer than I paid for. I was pretty drunk by the time we left.

 Went to the Scotland v. New Zealand rugby match in Edinburgh. New Zealand won as expected but Scotland scored more than many other teams have against the All Blacks (NZ) this season.

Hiked up Arthur's Seat, a large hill in the middle of Edinburgh before going to the game. 

Went on a hike in Glen Shee. Seven hours up and down two munros. It was incredibly exhausting. I was so tired by the end I was walking like a drunkard. 

It was very white. When at higher elevations we couldn't even see the neighboring hills because we were in a cloud. It drove me crazy for a while. SO MUCH WHITE.  

Beautiful valley

A look back to where we were. Those snowy hills.
