We continued our journey from Alyth to The Hermitage Garden. Well, Perthshire is known as the Big Tree Country. And that is not without reason - it boasts some of Europe's most remarkable trees and woodland including the Fortingall Yew which is believed to be the oldest living thing in Europe at between 3000 and 9000 years old (source : Perthshire, Angus & Dundee Visitor Guide 2009). However, we have yet to witness the Fortingall Yew. At the moment we're quite satisfied with the Douglas Fir which is reputed to be the tallest. Anyway, enjoy the photos, yeah!
Somehow my travel photos will always have to have rivers and trees in them! I believe this is part of River Brann
Danish posing with the young giant - hmmm...... the Douglas Fir
Black Linn Falls
Supposed a bench carved out of the tree?
Mia & Aqil taking a short break?
Four trees? Or one tree branched out into four?
With Baba Dearest
and Mummy Dearest
Other than rivers and trees, I also like to take snaps of moss.
All those walk make us hungry! Say, cheese!
i like the last picture where all the family sits together and smiling too, btw which tree trunk took the picture huh!
ReplyDeleteSalam Bluesman :-D
ReplyDeleteThe trunk happened to be in the shape of a kindly lady who offered and announced that she won't be taking any snap unless everybody smile :-D

ReplyDeleteSalam MM :)
ReplyDeleteSuka aaa dengan gambar gambar yang you ambik especially dengan Baba and Mummy Dearest ... sweet sangat. Leh masuk frame gambar tu ;)
Kalau kat Malaysia, sungai tu mesti dah ada orang mandi kan hehehehe
Salam fa10 :-D
ReplyDeleteTerimakasih sudi berkunjung. Apa khabar orang di sana? Masih sejuk lagi ke di Edinburgh?
Salam Acik :-D
ReplyDeleteAgaknya kalau tak sejuk gila, anak2 I dah terjun dah dalam sungai tu. Tapi sebab sejuk, dia orang terpaksa puas hati dengan berjalan2 di tepi sungai je. Actually kalau ikut2kan Mak dia orang pun teringin juga. :-D
the water must be icy cold and the trees are till 'bald'. we spent a night (in a campsite) there on the day down from Inverness thru the A9.
ReplyDeleteSalam DrSam :-D
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that we can camp there. Thanks for the info. We didn't even need to touch the water to know how cold it is. Guessed it will be more beautiful in Summer. We'll be going there again, perhaps and may be, just may be we will camp. :-D
Salam Mia's Mom,
ReplyDeleteAs the bluesman, I also like the picture of all the family member sits together. :)
Salam Zue :-D
ReplyDeleteBukan apa Zue, lapar pun ya juga tu! So, when the lady offered to take our photo, we are just too happy to accept - we can start digging right after :-D
