Since I arrived, every day has been go, go, go. I woke up to sun this morning and decided it was time for some sightseeing. Troon is only 45 minutes away, so off we went. A beautiful drive through the countryside with minimal stresses (when will driving in this country ever not be stressful?). We started with a walk along the docks, past the yacht club, past what seemed to be a lumber mill(?), and over to the Wee Hurrie fish & chip shop where I had a mug of soup and Scout had a chat with a sea lion. But I wanted a bit more lunch so we went into the “dug friendly” Harbour Inn. I love that dogs are welcome at (some) pubs in the U.K.!
Then off to the seawall walk where Scout was in heaven. We couldn’t go down to the tidal pools because the tide was coming in, but it was a glorious day and we walked for miles and miles along the shore all the way to a sandy beach. Scout and I were both completely content – no worries about car insurance, or finding a place to live, or the expenses of hotels and rental cars – just salty air and sunshine.
What a great way to wrap up our first week in Scotland.
Love reading about your adventures! Looks beautiful there.
Scotland is a country of extremes – there are parts that are not especially appealing or beautiful, and then you find places that take your breath away.
