Visiting the Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, Scotland

We stopped in to pay our respects at the Greyfriars Kirkyard during our stay in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Dating back to the 16th century, the Greyfriars Kirk and the cemetery attached to it have an extensive history.  Walking amongst the graves, you can feel it in your bones.

The Neolithic Ring of Brodgar in Orkney, Scotland

Scotland is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places in the world.  There is something incredibly wonderful and comfy about the entire country.  To me, it feels like home.  I will have to talk about so many of the lovely spots that I had the chance to visit while doing research for my masters thesis, but today, I will talk about just one amazing place.  The Ring of Brodgar in the Orkney Islands.
