Packed a lunch and did some historying today.

The Peel Ring of Lumphanan.

Have drove past this countless times but actually made it up top. Wow, it’s flatter and bigger than it looks from afar. The moat remnants are still clearly visible also.

Lovely day for it too.

King Edward I of England stepped foot in here in 1296 and tonight I’m eating his potatoes. Moral of the story: store in a cool dry place for best results, or, for superior results, under a moated mound for 8 hunner years.

The last post of a week long cycling trip in the north east of Scotland: Aberdeen to Inverness. Not so much cycling in this one but a fitting finale to a fabulous trip

@Moss as we say in (North East) Scotland: cuckoo spits. Don’t ask me why. If you look into the ‘spit’ further, there is a living organism in there. Like a wet cocoon.
