Where to begin with a day that was so much more than we asked for!
We played 9 holes of golf at the Strathtyrum Course at St. Andrews. We expected that it would be miles from the Old Course where The Open is played. It was truly right next to it on a couple of holes! We had a blast and I played well enough to not embarrass myself. Sean killed it with 3 pars and he hit the ball a mile! We are still pinching ourselves that we were there!
Next, we drove to Kilconquhar Castle where we stayed the night. It is a 16th-century castle along the eastern coast of Scotland. We were snooping around the castle and ran into the owner. He gave us a bit of history and could not have been nicer. We then wandered into the town of Kilconqhuar and fell in love with this quintessential, small Scottish town. We walked all around which took about 30 minutes, lol!. There was a path to a beautiful lake (or loch) and sat there taking it all in. We stumbled onto an amazing pub and restaurant, the Kinneuchar Inn. We had steak and pints and were able to talk to some of the locals who were so friendly and helpful. Truly a magical day!!
On to Edinburgh! Everyone we met has raved about the beauty and the history of the Scottish city. We have 2 days here so we have our walking shoes ready to go! We can't wait!!
