Wild and Sexy Scotland - Day 3

Ok, so this is the only pic worthy of posting from day 3 on the Wild and Sexy Haggis Tour - sorry! Basically the day was spent touring around old Scottish battlegrounds and seeing things through the windows of the bus - and I refuse to post pics on the blog taken through bus windows b/c of the poor quality of them.

However, this is a pic of a very UGLY "Hairy Coo" (or a Highland Cow). They're all over the place in the Highlands and actually feed on plants that other breeds won't touch. And because they get their insulation mainly from that massive mop of hair they have, their meat tends to be much leaner b/c they don't carry as much subcutaneous fat. Oh and apparently Viagra is made from the horns of the hairy coo, which are supposed to be among the strongest aphrodisiacs on earth. Kinda a cool random fact! HA!

After we made it back to Edinburgh, I checked into my new hostel and then headed off to dinner. I've been blogging this evening since it's raining (what's new??? HA!) and tomorrow I'm getting up early for a walking tour around the city and to see the Royal Yacht - can't wait! Then I'm catching the 4pm train back to London - should be an exciting day for sure! I'll update the blog when I get back to London!

Hope everyone is doing well! :-)
