Dec 30th

The 30th was another driving day. We put about 240 miles on the little Rover.


We first hit Arbroath Abby. It was yet another very old broken down building...yet cool.


We then headed north to Dunnottar Castle. This was by far the coolest castle yet. It was an amazingly fortified castle perched on a rocky outcrop. I could totally live there, but the upkeep would be a bitch.


Back to the fortification topic. The designers were geniuses. If you were able to scale the steep cliffs, get past the countless archer placements, and get though the door then you would encounter four cannons as you charged up the steps. The castle builders also added a nice little feature so the man of the castle didn't have to go outside in the middle of the night.
