On the Way to Edinburgh

We left Inverness and headed south towards Edinburgh.  Along the way we were treated to a stop at a sheep farm for a demonstration on sheep herding.  The shepherd had 18 border collies and watching them herd the sheep was amazing!  Those dogs are so smart! 

 

After the demonstration the shepherd came out with an arm load of month old puppies. We all got our fix of cuddling puppies. 

And if that wasn't enough, we got to feed some of the lambs too.  It was cuteness overload.

 

Our next stop was Blair Castle.  The earliest part of this beautiful castle has a tower that dates back to 1269. It has been added to over the centuries. For most of our tour we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the castle.  The display of weapons was amazing.  More information about Blair castle at: http://www.blair-castle.co.uk/castle_history_evolution.cfm
