Bonnie Scotland


AFTER 10 lovely days in England -- the experiences were lovely, not the weather -- I bid a fond farewell to Blighty today and travelled north to Scotland.

This is my first visit to Scotland, so I was eagerly awaiting the moment when the train I was riding would cross the border north of Carlisle, but there was no sign to indicate I was crossing into a new land.

Instead I got the word from the conductor that the train had rolled over the invisible line that separates England from the land to the north, and I snapped these two photos out the window to mark the big moment.

So this is Scotland?
