Below are more pictures from visiting the castle:
Dunnottar Castle was a nearly impregnable fortress originally build over 700 years ago. William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, and the future King Charles II all graced the castle with their presence over the years. Several hundred years ago, a small garrison held out against a British army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels.
Here's the keep, the most intact part of the ruined castle:
The remaining walls of the ruined city with the North Sea in the background:
Simply amazing coastal scenery:
Hay fields cover the countryside 1/2 mile inside the coast:

Terrific pictures of a beautiful country. This will be the time of your life making international friends and seeing places older than what stands in the USA. Your perspective of life and the world will be irrevocably changed.
Reading your accounts reminds me of when you were learning to Write to Read at kindergarten in good old Kilgore. Remember the Newspaper stories about Saddam Hussein? You have come so far from those stilted story starters of Chandler Elementary.
All my love & hugs & kisses,
Mom
