#48: UK Trip: Road Trip to Scotland Pt 2

The next morning, after feasting ourselves with some delicious nasi lemak made by Aunt R, we made a move to Tantallon Castle which will take approximately 40 minutes to reach there. To go to Tantallon Castle, we have 2 options; we can there through city centre or coastal way. Since we totally depended on GPS, we passed by the city centre when we found the exit that will lead us to coastal way. 


It was a nice experience to witness the nature beauty without modern development. 

I can't really recall the history behind the castle (go wiki, please) but the reason why we were there because the video clip for the song "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" was shot here. The moment we reached the castle, my SIL decided to play the song as our background music.


We spent quite sometime at the castle. Seriously, with that kind of breathtaking view, this is photo opportunity. Thank God both of SILs were patient enough to entertain our craziness :)

We drove back to the city to have our lunch and did some city tour. We went to the garden which was very pretty. There were a few other places we can go actually like the Edinburgh Castle but it was quite distance so we decided to pass that one out.


Done with City tour, now it's shopping time. I actually went crazy looking at the kilts especially the cute tiny one. I bought one for some weird reason. I'm going to make my nephew to wear that one. Hahaha.

After we literally shopped until we dropped, we went back to the apartment. By this time, I was already tired to the max.

End of Day 2.

The last day in Scotland, we drove to Glasgow. 


Personally, I don't really favour Glasgow city as compared to Edinburgh city. Nevertheless, we spent quite some time in Glasgow before we went to our next destination.


Here's the scenic view of Lake District in Keswick town. It was so calm, peaceful and eerie. We had another round of photo shoot and off to our last destination of the day; Manchester!

More on Manchester on my next entry.

Till then.
