For the New Year's Break (basically the 28th to the 2nd of January), Patrick and I went to visit our old friend Linda in Scotland with Tim and Andrea Whittaker.We took a cheap flight on RyanAir to some airport south of Glasgow, and then we drove to Whitburn, which is halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh and also the hometown of Linda. We stayed at a very nice hotel that Linda's mother works at until we moved to Edinburgh for the Hogmanay (Scottish New Year Celebration) for the remaining three days of our trip.
Turns out New Years is actually bigger in Scotland than Christmas sometimes, and they have a huge celebration downtown - big concert, fireworks off of the castle, lots of events before as well, which turns out to be the largest one in Europe.
This particular picture is of the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, which I think was destoryed during the Scottish reformation.
