+ Friday, September 1 -- Our Highlands adventure has begun. Great train ride from Glasgow to Oban along the Clyde and then along lochs including the famous Loch Lomond. Waterfalls. Sheep. 3500 foot peaks.

+ Friday, September 1 -- Yesterday I went to Kirkintillich where my great great great grandmother Jean Stirling was born and presumably raised by William and Margaret Stirling. A helpfull librarian got me the microfilm which included the written record of her birth. I saw it and took a picture of it.

+ Friday, September 1 -- At Cuan Mor Restaurant enjoying Ravens Wood Zinfandel 2008 celebrating our traveling companion's upcoming 66th birthday and the start of our Highlands portion of the trip which will be our concluding week of our UK 4 week stay.

+ Friday, September 1 -- We are hoping to enjoy some immersion in the Gaelic culture at a venue known as Skipinnish Ceilidh House. It has rained a lot since we got to this absolutely gorgous harbor town of Oban. You can join us. Go to www.skipinnish.com
