GLASGOW

This weekend we decided to go to Loch Lomond, but first, we stopped in Glasgow, where Ari was very nice hosting us. We had a fantastic night on Friday and we enjoyed the city on Saturday ( we were kids again playing in the Science Museum )

THE BORDERS: KELSO

The last stop in the Borders was Kelso, a nice town close to the river Tweed and with an abbey as well. The battery of the camera was runnig low and in Kelso died completelly, that's the reason for this few range of photos.

THE BORDERS: JEDBURGH

The biggest and more intact abbey in the zone is in Jedburgh. Although it was really impressive, we were a bit tired of abbeys, so we decided to become medieval habitants. Some customs were enough to change our aspect: Susanna as a lady-in-waiting and me as a savage warrior.

THE BORDERS: DRYBURGH ABBEY

Small but really nice, maybe the most beautyful abbey in the area. You can perfectly imagine the live of the monks here, walking trough the ruins of the cloister or the dormitory.

THE BORDERS: BEMERSYDE GARDEN

We want to have this garden!!!!! It was like in a film. A big house with a big grass meadow in front and close to the river. What else do you want????

THE BORDERS: SCOTT'S VIEWPOINT

Ohh!!!! Going by car is wonderful!!! In one day you can reach plenty of places. Here the view of the Tweed Valley between Melrose, Kelso and Jedburgh. You can see the Eildon Hills in the centre. From this point Walter Scott got his inspiration to write his famous novels.

THE BORDERS: SMAILHOLM TOWER

On our way to the next abbey we stopped in this medieval tower, where a rich family used to live in the mmm... (I don't remember the century). Look at the small windows it has, just to prevent the attacks of outsiders, they were clever people. Seeing that the tower wasn't that good we decided to do some foolish things just to enjoy the visit (see Susanna as a Princess).
