St.Andrews.

We are currently staying at St. Andrews which was a pleasant few hours drive from Edinburgh. The location of the hotel affords wonderful views of the coastline from a vantage point once used by the Romans in the Iron Age as a marching ground and fort to watch out for their enemy, the Picti, or painted men as they were known. The traditional features and contours of the land have remained untouched inclusive of the stone walls that make up Kittocks Den which is home to a family of buzzards and deer who are undisrurbed by golfers playing the Kittocks course. The hotel is committed to assisting local conservation groups by protecting biodiversity and native species.

It's good to see you looking so well in that most gorgeous environment.

Here's to the heath, the hill and the heather,
The bonnet, the plaid, the kilt and the feather!

Best wishes

Many thanks Susan
A fitting tribute to a wonderful experience even though my back doesn't like travel. Best wishes
