Today we went to the ancient site of the crowning of the kings of Scotland. The Scots were an Irish clan that left Ireland and came to what is now Scotland and eventually conquered all the people who were already here. Dunadd is where the kings were crowned.
At the top of the hill is the site. There is a footprint carved in the stone and your foot had to fit in order to be crowned the king of the Scots. As you can see from the picture below, it is time I got my props. BOW BEFORE ME ALL YOU LESSER PEOPLES!
No doubt a perfect fit. However, I must decline my rightful throne to continue my work in America.
We visited some other ancient sites, looked at carvings noone understands and visited some burial sites of Knights Templar (maybe). The tour was great and ended at a local castle where we ate lunch.
Later in the evening, we had a musical night where all the students displayed their talents. I almost got up but chickened out. Mostly because of lack of music to sing to (and lyrics for that matter). The kids were amazing! So much talent on both sides of the Atlantic.
This weekend we are going to Glasgow and then Edinburgh. More updates next week.
Later.

Yes, but that is in stocking'd feet. Would it have fit if you were shod?
