Whiskey Country..Northeast Scotland. And a Dachshund.

This Wire-haired Dachshund was with a young Spanish couple from Edinburgh, holidaying in the Highlands with their parents. He had a lovely temperament.
 

Distilleries to the left, distilleries to the right, Glenfiddich down the road, Glenlivett around the corner.

We came across a tiny Woollen Mill that is the only surviving continuously working Mill in the UK. It makes beautiful fabrics from local fleeces. These beautiful boots are made from the tartan they designed to represent their Mill and the colours of the surrounding countryside. They explained how the tweeds and tartans they make are customised to the countryside colours of their clients.

  1. Do hope you bought those stunning boots, Kathy, and refrained from stealing the dog ...
