Even though we both kinda thought that Scotland was crep both before and after we arrived, I must say though that both Char and I now like living here because of the surrounding area close to our flat. We live in a small village called Peterculter which is just on the edge of the highlands and along the Royal Deeside, which we think is somewhat protected because it leads out towards the Queen's pad in Ballater. It's kind of a secluded little place with a strong village identity and is not known for much other than its pipe band (from what we hear) and the Rob Roy bridge which apparently was the place from which he escaped from his captors by throwing some evil Englishman off of it in a noose. Because the evil Englishman was hanging from a noose that Rob Roy created from his own rope they had to cut the rope and he escaped by hiding in a dead cow - or so the story goes in the movie. That story was confirmed by a local but whether or not his real source was from the movie remains unknown.
Anyways here are just a few shots that might capture the essence of the countryside near us!
