Every summer for years we went to the Utah Scottish Festival. We enjoyed the taste of fresh pasties and ginger beer. We liked seeing all the pipe bands and hearing the Wicked Tinkers play. We’ve even bought kilts, sgian dhubs (little black knives that hide in your socks) and sporrans (furry man bags) there. All the while, we wondered what it would be like to really visit Scotland. Almost two years ago we did just that. We took a bus trip to Edinburgh to see the famous Tattoo. We saw the statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby. We explored Holyrood Palace. We stayed at a lovely hotel in Glasgow, and we spent several pleasant hours at the Glasgow Science Centre. We had a grand time, though I don’t think we’ll go back again. Today we’re tickled pink to be headed back to the Utah Scottish Festival! See you there!
