The morning dawned and the Macbackpacker group awoke, some a little worse for wear after the Ceilidh! We left Oban Backpackers and all managed to trudge onto the bus in time. So jealous! The bus set off and we were all quieter than we had been for the past few days! Our first stop of the day was an old, pretty Scottish Church. It had a big courtyard and was very interesting. There were interesting sculptures on the walls and the emptiness made it feel very special.
Graeme pointed out the Clan Seats, which is where the chiefs would sit. Then we all had a wander around. I noticed a small bird that was trying and failing to get out. Unfortunately it was too high up and so there was nothing I could do⦠I hope it managed to get out.
We headed outside and it was actually a lovely day. There was a sundial here and when we pointed it out to Graeme he told us that it is a Scottish invention! These are cages over the graves to stop body snatchers! Once again, I have no idea where we ended up next. It was basically a big shop. We had two samples, and the second was infused with honey and was delicious! The honey took away the usual burn you can get with whisky drinking!
Me, Bunny and Dave wandered around the shop after the whiskey tasting, and it took a while! I found a Scottish Faerie Tale book, which just had to come with me, as I am a bookworm! We headed outside and as Graeme had pointed out the nearby chippy as a great chippy, we headed over.
It was about lunch time and we felt chips were just what we needed to clear our heads! I have to admit, Graeme was wrong on this one, the chips were very disappointing! We stopped at a viewpoint of a castle ruin and lodge. As we arrived Graeme pointed out a good bakery. Even after the disappointing chips, me, Bunny and Dave still thought Graeme has been right on more occasions than not when telling us where to eat!
