Picture #1 is of son 1 in our "really big van" after we got off the plane.  It is super funny.  Vehicles are generally smaller in Europe.  A mini van is a big vehicle there.  So, to accommodate luggage and peeps we had a mini van booked at the rental place prior to our party of 6 downsizing to party of 4.  We just left it as is and took the van.  Son 1 was not impressed with the big van especially since the twins had a much smaller car.  Anyway, at one of the castles (Stirling) we were driving up to the car park and the others were already up there.  We parked and got out and they were laughing.  As we were driving up they heard on the parking attendants radio, "Really big van coming through, put him in the back."  They thought that was so funny!  I have to admit I did to.  Picture #2 is our first castle Dirleton Castle.  Very close to the town where we stayed.  One of my favs.  It is a great castle.  Picture #3 is the castle itself.  Or at least the stairs walking up to it.  It is quite a large castle with lovely gardens all around that are maintained in the way that they likely once were way back when.
