Wow, looks like a fun trip. I so want to go to Scotland someday.

Nice Jag, and cutie of a little girl too.
My daughter is 15 now and thinks she will get to drive our Jag.

I am happy you had a nice time

BTW, you also changed your stock grill to newer updated ones and it looks nicer . This is from me who dislikes mesh stuff

Great pics, it's good to see that the weather cooperated.

Buck, give the kid a few more months and I'll bet cars get more interesting!

Blue sky in Scotland ??? You must have been there on the right 24 hours it is clear in the year, (only kidding !). Yes it is a beautiful country, my mother and her family comes from Greenock on the Clyde. Lovely scenary there. Midges in the summer in the Highlands can be a problem, I believe, and of course, "scotch mist".
