I took so many photographs on my September trip to the Scottish Borders. Here are few more, from our first two days - in the town of Melrose.
 |
| The interior of Melrose Abbey, a relic of the English Reformation. |
 |
| Many ancient grave markers bore the skull and crossed bones - I doubt they signified that the decedent was a pirate. |
 |
| Sandy's cell phone gave her fits, so she tried the old-fashioned kind. |
 |
| EVERY fisherman's prayer - the Borders have apparently some great rivers for salmon fishing, esp. the Tweed River. |
 |
| "Full Scottish Breakfast" = eggs, mushrooms, black pudding, sausage, fried tomato, bacon, potato scone. I found that once was enough. Later mornings I eliminated several items. |
 |
| Looking down on Melrose from one of the Eildon Hills (which we hiked up as the first of several). |
