Day 4, loop ride to Balmoral Castle and a Distillary

20120827-110625.jpgI said at the beginning of this trip I said “no more photos of cows” They are so neat I take too many pictures ofthem. They look at you with those big brown eyes and I think Oh, he’s so pretty, but now I have a thousand pictures of cows and they all look the same. So this morning I ran into a herd of these guys. Highland cows, or Scottish hairy cows, I couldn’t resist, he looked at me with those big brown eyes and I melted.

But was that the real reason we all braved the nasty weather, I don’t think so. The next stop was a distillery tour. We had a great tour of the Royal Lochinagar Distillery. I now know how to make whiskey and what single malt whiskey is and tastes like. An educational trip.
