Nice to see what it looks like -- helps me to remember what a great trip it was and how much I learned of Scottish history while there.Carol Hepburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00591908619651007329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1147837218382656372006-05-16T22:40:00.000-05:002006-05-16T22:40:00.000-05:00The Great Hall is quite cavernous.

Like many mathematically inclined folks, when I stepped inside I started moving to the walls and away from the center of the room because I thought it might collapse. HUGE room, no central support pylons or anything.

My favorite photo is of Claire on the battlement looking like a princess awaiting a glimpse of the soldiers from centuries past to ride over the horizon as they return home from war. *sweet sigh*<BR/>I also loved Caitlin's tree. To walk in the footsteps of the ancient is truly an awe inspiring thing. <BR/>Thanks for sharing it all with us... even though you have noDeeapaulitanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779311373562097618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1147192580598911592006-05-09T11:36:00.000-05:002006-05-09T11:36:00.000-05:00Yeah and verily, did you not have the most fantast...Yeah and verily, did you not have the most fantastic time? I love the photos, and am so happy that you got to go a year earlier than planned! Are you hooked, now? Isn't it mah---velous?! <BR/><BR/>Now you must read Ruskin's works on Architecture! He is quite funny when he discusses the embellishments of the old world architecture.
