Today, we explored Scone Palace and its grounds and photographed a waterfall in the Hermitage at Dunkeld on our way from Dundee to Inverness.
We were greeted by a very vocal peacock when we arrived at Scone Palace.
The grounds were filled with peacocks, including scary, fast peacock and an albino peacock.
No pictures were allowed inside the palace, but it was pretty beautiful, with some really unique items, including a small, ladies' writing desk which originally belonged to Marie Antoinette.
Just a few feet away from the palace entrance is a small hill, where several Scottish kings had been crowned while sitting on the Stone of Destiny.
The grounds were pretty extensive and were filled with beautiful gardens, open areas and a maze (in which a couple of us almost got lost and had to cheat to find the center and then the exit).
After leaving Scone Palace, we had lunch in Perth and then headed over to Dunkeld to explore the Hermitage.
The forest area was beautiful and held an impressive waterfall.
We did some long exposures of the running water; I didn't really have a clue what I was doing, but I think I got some pretty cool shots.
We finished our day at Inverness, where I could finally connect to wifi (and submit homework assignments, upload facebook photos, and write blog posts).
Ready for sleep,
