SCOTLAND. DAY 15 OBAN TO EDINBURGH VIA BRAEMAR

The drive was a long one but eventually we arrived at Braemar as the annual Highland Gathering was in full swing. This was the consumate Scottish experience. Cabers, weights and stones were tossed. Tugs of War, Scottish dancing and massed pipes were observed in seamlessly organised events and to top it all off - a royal visit from nearby Balmoral.
This was a fantastic event and well worth the diversion. We arrived back in Edinburgh late in the evening for our final night in Scotland at Gilston Lodge.
