After our escape to Mexico, Tracey had to immediately leave for a work trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, and Michael followed a few days behind. After spending a few days exploring the city, we rented a car, learned how to drive on the wrong side of the road and headed to Stirling.

From there, we were able to do a day trip to Loch Ness, and then headed back south to Edinburgh for our flights home.
