No clouds at all for our trip to #isleofskye last week. Our first real trip to a separate island from the mainland of Scotland/England/Wales. #scotland

Beautiful sunset on @lner (which didn’t have cleanest train windows) overlooking the River Tay near Dundee. By the time I had presence of mind to go up to the cleaner window at the door in the vestibule … the sun had passed under the hills.

It was cloudy and rainy all weekend. The sun came out a bit right before dusk yesterday. It illuminated a stained glass window in our bedroom – I hadn’t noticed before that these old white dudes had labels! Homer! #scotland #aberdeen #rubislaw

I just don’t know why I started giggling at “Butchery at Its Best.” Perhaps it’s because I’m at a garden store that also sells liquor and high heels named after an elf. Oh it has a restaurant as well. #scotland #dobbies

While correlation does not equal causation – my impression is that a lot of people smoke here. And they put these scary pictures on each pack of cigarettes … So maybe the pictures are actually encouraging smoking? #scotland #uk

Nice view from an ancient stone circle. (A less ancient nuclear bunker can be seen in the foreground.) #scotland #aberdeenshire

Both Google and Apple Maps thought I could drive another 2.7 miles along the loch to get closer to the Falls of Glas Alt. Well. No. #scotland #highlands

As I walk to my host institution, I am humbled by these wise words. I hope we can know more tomorrow than we knew today. Within the lifetime of my parents, we did not even know the structure of DNA and much of how it works. I wonder what we will know within the lifetime of my kids. #aberdeen #science

This 1877 house we are living in has some very ornate stuff. I just noticed this last night. An angel playing a violin with a machete. #scotland #angel #architecture #rubislaw

Lovely rainbow on the train back from Glasgow yesterday.
