St. Andrews in Scotland

We were so excited when we actually passed into Scotland, since we hadn't been able to cross over the border because it was out of the mission boundaries (actually, you could actually have put a hand or foot across, but that wouldn't have been exact obedience, right?

A blurry, on-the-move picture in the rain, but we are here!

Arriving at the most famous golf course (and oldest) in the world

The Old Course

He is awed by it all--to see St. Andrews Golf Course has been a dream come true.  Standing by a monument to famous early golfers.

Still not showing his excitement.  It's that serious old military stuff about not smiling.

Finally looking happier (I'd just purchased a whole bunch of birthday gifts for him with "St. Andrews" on the items)

Still dreaming . . .

A beautiful place to sit and look over the ocean

Fancy houses

Campus of The University of St. Andrews, Scotland's first university

Attacking the dean with bows and arrows?  Wow!  Our university deans have it easy these days.

This is on the corner of the university wall where there is a walkway to other offices.  Students still attend this almost 600-year-old university.

This is a place like I used to work at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.  Modern sign, old building

Interesting stone work holding it together still

I'm impressed.  Kimberly Clark even provides toilet rolls to Scotland

Getting a chance to ask people about playing the course

Yet another castle

Old abbey is here too

You didn't want to open your mouth and express many opinions in days long ago . . .
