Day 29: Glamis Castle & Arbroath Abbey

We spent a day on a private bus, traveling to several beautiful locations around Dundee.


Our first stop was at Glamis Castle, which we were able to get a tour of the inside.
The tour took about an hour and then we had another hour to explore some of the gardens on the extensive (thousands of acres) grounds.

We headed from Glamis Castle into Forfar for lunch and then drove over to Arbroath.


We had some time to explore Arbroath Abbey, which had some beautiful ruins, tall towers, and long rows of gravestones.


There was actually a wedding taking place in the Abbey when we arrived, so we got to watch the ending of the ceremony and hear bagpipes as we started exploring.

We had some extra time in Arbroath, so we all split up to explore different sections of the city, focusing on the cliffs, beach, and harbor.

Lauren and I walked to the cliffs and enjoyed the view and nice breeze for a while before heading down to the beach to dip our toes in the edge of the North Sea.


Loving these full days of adventures and beautiful sights,
