Weekend outing - Gretna, Brittania & Calton Hill

Gretna which was about 2 hours drive away from Edinburgh. Call us crazy or what.. the main objective of going to Gretna was for shopping!!! I came across the outlet village while browsing through some brochures about places of interest in Scotland. We girls were on a shopping spree... buying Ralph Lauren's clothes. I got myself a sweater and a pair of shoes.. Quite a bargain actually...

Apart from shopping, we managed to slot in some time for visiting as well. Pity Chi... Came all the way from Portsmouth to Scotland for shopping.. Sorry mate! We visited Gretna Green. I'm not sure what place that is at the beginning. Just followed the signboards which lead us to this tourist spot. It's actually the World Famous Blacksmith's shop and it's famous for runaway marriages.. Anyone interested? *wink*

Look at that!!! Hairy cow.. and it's HUGE!!! It's 2.5 times bigger than the size of a normal cow back home.

Upon returning to Edinburgh, we decided to take the scenic trail. The scenery is really beautiful. Look at the pictures. You can find more pictures in my photo album.

The next day, we decided to go to some places in Edinburgh which I haven't been before. That's the ship - Brittania and Calton Hill to balance up on shopping and visiting! :D
