Hitting the range at St. Andrews

We had to make a stop as we drove from Edinburgh to Dunnottar to hit some range balls at St. Andrews Golf Course. But as we found out, St. Andrews is more than just a world class golf course, it also a very lovely town.

Dunnottar Castle: an emotional site with a rich family history

Dunnottar Castle in Scotland has been an important stop on our trip for some time now; we were happy to finally have made it. The castle was beautifully perched on an oceanside cliff. The views were breathtaking.

Kilkenny and Jackie’s moment in heaven

Although we got hit with a bit of rain we really enjoyed our last stop in Ireland, in a town called Kilkenny. Churches, shops, live irish folk music and a bar with everything Jackie could dream of made this a hard town to leave.

The ancient tomb of the Bend of the Boyne (Brú na Bóinne)

We added another UNESCO stop on our way to the Giant’s Causeway, the Brú na Bóinne. The “open air tombs” were discovered here on accident around the 1700s and its contruction predates the pyramids, over 3.5K years ago (in the Neolithic period).

During the winter solstice light enters the tomb through a small and pinpoints a spot on the far back wall of the structure. Much like Stonehenge this structure is believed to have an array of astrological significance.

The majestic views from the Cliffs of Moher

We drove across the country of Ireland to visit this southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. Boy, was it worth it! You really can’t capture the beauty of these cliffs – but we tried our best in the video below.
