SATURDAY, DAY 2: We got up at 8am & had our 1st Scottish Breakfast! I was excited because today was the day we were seeing DUNNOTTAR CASTLE which is my favorite castle in Scotland! I love the dramatic clifftop setting! It started out misty, foggy and rainy but then cleared up after 30minutes. I had seen the castle in 1999 but only from far away as we were with a tour group & it was only a photo opportunity. I love ruined castles. This was the location for the movie "Hamlet". I love th...

Dunnottar Castle has one of the most spectacular locations of any castle. A collection of buildings from various periods crown the top of a promontory that rises steeply from the surrounding sea and land.

Geno's Magical Mystery tour of Northern UK. I started in Aberdeen & hooned through Edinburgh, Newcastle, Durham, Whitby, Robin Hood Bay, Scarborough, Hull, York, Yorkshire Dales, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Lakes District and of course, made a quick visit to Wales to the town with the 2nd longest name in the World: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch What a beautiful trip it was: terrific scenery, an abundance of history and some very funny accents.

Once I decided to travel to Scotland, I started planning where I wanted to see the sights. I then plotted out my route to fit where I started and stopped. Then it nothing but a great visit to a beautiful country. I now wish to return many more times.
