Hello and happy Father's day to all the Fathers of our students! Our 2 hour plus ride took us into the Scottish highlands and past the highest peak in Great Britain- Ben Nevis. We started at a place that was formed thousands of years ago when two volcanic plates collided thousands of years ago and is now preserved and used for many things including the setting of Hagrid's hut in the Harry Potter movies. On to hunt the Loch ness monster in Loch ness- a strip of water that is 800 ft deep in places. We never saw Nessie, but we did see and learn about the remains of William the conqueror's castle that was used until the 1600's. The last stop was a working sheep farm where we saw a demonstration on sheep sheering and border collies doing their job and how they are trained on a beautiful farm in the Scottish highlands. Back to the hotel for more Scottish fare and dancing. On to Ediburgh tomorrow.
