YORK 26 April-1 May 2015
These are some highlights of our first week in the UK. We arrived in York on 26 April. We only had one day to have a look around the city before we left for Edinburgh on 1 May. Most of the shots were taken on 30 April 2015.

Edinburgh 1-10 May
It was a bank holiday on 4 May.

Aberdeen 10-12 May 2015
We drove from Edinburgh to Aberdeen on Sunday 10 May. It was cold and rainy most of the way. When we arrived we found our apartment was opposite the dockyards. The oil and gas industry is very important to Scotland and Aberdeen is a busy port city.

We departed Aberdeen at 10:20am on 12 May and arrived at Inverness at 7pm. Our sat nav took us off the motorway and we came across Glenlivet and Glenfiddich distilleries.
