One can only hope...BTW, you still owe us the last British Kingdom. It's called Strathclyde.

Strathclyde, eh? Well, the statement is a definite maybe. Only because it recently took about 500 years to sort out. From 600-1100AD Strathclyde was ruled by the Scottish Kings of Alba, the Norse from Ireland, a short spell of England's Wessex Kings then regained by the Scots. Cumbria was included in this from time to time.

From strictly a biker point of view (not agriculturally), England got some of the best of it in Cumbria (Lake District) so there isn't that much to complain about.



Cumbria

Ft. Augustus that's it!!  Wasn't there a monastery there too and some of the earliest Nessie sightings by the monks?

ANZAC, it's Ft. Augustus Abbey (not really very old - around 1880) and, yes it is part of Nessieland.

Ft. Augustus - the Canal Lochs




Sorry, no pics of the Abbey

As my first post I upload an image taken last year in Scotland.

There is something about British skies, an ever-changing palette of colors and shades. Even on a rainy day, the sun can suddenly breakout from beneath a canopy of clouds and set off an explosion of colors and rainbows. I don't think I've ever seen skies quite like them. Magical places.

Couldn't resist adding a few of my own...

Ooops...I see I mislabeled the Clan Donald castle ruins...should MacDonald but of course all good Scots (and Irish too) will already know that.

Yah...unfortunately, I only saw one race before an oil spill, and then, rain, and then a phoned in bomb threat put the kabosh on the program.

I still got a small taste of Irish road racing

That's the turn they make before the ride along the coast.  Famous race course
