Last stop in Scotland was Floors Castle, the largest inhabited castle in Scotland. The current duke is a young man with a bunch of cute kids - hard to imagine them running around in that elegant place!
Hadrian’s Wall was built by the Romans almost 2000 years ago when they occupied England - it was supposed to keep out the wild Picts up in the Scottish Highlands. There are some places where you can still see what’s left of the wall and we stopped at one of them.
On to York, England then - a great old city that still has quite a bit of its city walls, and several narrow old streets lined with 14 and 15th century shops and homes. Fun to wander around there.
