Our 2016 Scotland Holiday
7-20 July
Our main reason for going to Scotland was to attend the wedding of Ann's nephew, Callum, and Sarah. As always during our visits to Scotland, we enjoyed catching up with friends and relatives, and going to some of the fantastic sites for tourists. Ann flew to Manchester and went on to Lincoln and Heighington to visit Tina and her family. Jim flew to Glasgow a few days later and met up with Ann in Dundee. We enjoyed house sitting for Michele and Derek while they went on holiday. After the festivities Jim returned home a few days early to get Pibb and Patches from their holiday at Smith Farms Boarding Kennels while Ann and Jenny had a sisters-day-out in Edinburgh.
