It's Outdoor Wednesday hosted by the wonderful Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer. Please visit Susan's blog to see other Outdoor Wednesday participants. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago during our stay in Scotland. To be honest, the entire vacation was totally overwhelming. I took over 1,500 pictures of Ireland and Scotland.
I hope you enjoy these of Dunnottar Castle.

William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II, all graced the Castle with their presence. Most famously though, it was at Dunnottar Castle that a small garrison help out against the might of Cromwell's army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels, the "Honours of Scotland", from destruction. Wow! I was overwhelmed by it's beauty.
Notice the boat and how small it is compared to the cliffs.
The ocean was so beatiful!
Monument to War Veterans.
The Hubs!
I just couldn't help myself....I had to take pictures of all the flowers
Yes, Fuchsia's grow wild...can you believe it!
Angelica? Wild Carrot? or Bedstraw? I'm not sure...but they were beautiful.
