Grounds Tour

After a lunch of haggis, neeps, and tatties, this afternoon a group of us went on a tour of the palace grounds with Cameron the grounds keeper.  I went on one last fall when I was here and was blown away with how splendid Cameron is.  He seems to know something about most everything.  Anyway, today we looked at the stables and Aidan and Emma got to got up to the second level where the stable boys used to live.  It also held POW's during and after WWII.  Here are a few of the horse stalls built in the 18th Century.

After the stables, we went to the old oak forest to see the pigs.  Here's Cameron with a big, old boar.

The kids and Cameron after the walk.  The bloke about to get his throat cut is one of the other faculty member's sons.  He and his sister keep Aidan and Emma busy in their spare time.
