This Wednesday’s day trip was a visit to Traquair Castle the oldest inhabited castle in the UK. The castle it’s self was beautiful and because we are some of the few people that visit castles in the middle of the week the castle guides gave us excellent pointers for some other day trips (and sights in general) that we must see while we’re in Scotland. Behind the castle is a maze which we probably made to hard by paying absolutely no attention to where we were going we walked in circles for probably a good half hour just finding the center…and then chose to leave by the fool’s exit (sometimes you have to know when to give up!) Following our adventure in the maze we visited the kid’s play area where they had a intense obstacle course…Zara succeeded in finishing it without touching the ground, I however slipped off of probably the easiest part :(. After all our fun on the grounds we finally visited the brewery where they offered a tasting of their ales…and the guy in the shop recommended a pub in Edinburgh that offers more unique beers than the average pub. We visited the recommended pub on Thursday night…it did have incredibly good beers for relatively cheap but we probably brought the average age down by a good ten years. Next week’s excursion will most likely be in Edinburgh (for cost reasons) but I’m sure we’ll find something interesting to do!
