At Banchory






On Sunday after the meeting we went for a drive to Banchory we had lunch at a pub. Dad had bangers and mash, Sam, Matt and mum had a steak guinness Pie and I had battered haddock (fish) and chips.








After lunch we went for a walk and we came to the River Dee where there are falls. We saw a blue heron sitting on a rock in the sun and mum saw a couple of fish jumping out of the water, but they weren't big enough to be Salmon. We went down to the river bank and threw rocks into the water. Dad and Sam played chase jumping across the rocks mum got scared when dad jumped across the rocks because mum thought that he'd hurt his ankle again, but it was fun!




When we put our arms in the water to get rocks our arms froze. Well mabye they didn't freeze, but it felt like it!










Can you see the blue heron?

Glamis Castle [pronounced Glams Castle]

On Saturday we went to Glamis Castle. In 1372, Sir John Lyon was given Glamis Castle by the king and it has stayed his family ever since. Glamis Castle is one of the most famous castle in scotland. In every part of the castle there is at least one lion in each room except for the chapel. The reason why the chapel doesn't have a lion in it is because it was a room for all people to share as they worshiped god.At Glamis Castle once every year at the end of summer they have a country fair. I have to tell you the ground wasn't like the ground over in Australia not grass and paths; not one path was there and every now and again there would be some grass. Try and guess what was there, thick gooey mud and Mum was wearing her meeting shoes. the mud


We went on these little Quad little bikes, you had to go in a circle. The hardest bit was going round the corner down a slight hill. The Quad bikes had petrol to make them go. It was heaps cool.




we saw lot's of girls doing Highland dancing and a band playing Bagpipes.
