Hanging out in the borders

I went up to Scotland while Syd gallavanted all across Tokyo! I really only went to South Scotland to 'the borders' where my cousins live. It gave me a chance to see a couple more castles and have quality time.
We took some pics at the border itself. One side of the rock says Scotland, and the other says England (duh). We had some fun straddling both countries...hee hee.

The highlight of the trip was a visit to Alnwick Castle. It was the castle used in the first two Harry Potter movies to represent the exterior of Hogwarts! There was a cute knight school there where we got to play some fun games (who cares that they were for kids) and then we went on a tour to see where the movie scenes were shot. The first shot below is where the kids had their first flying lesson, and the second shot is Hogwarts from the front (sans special effects of course).
