Our last Fulbright adventure took place in majestic Scotland! We joined our fellow ex-pats for the 4th of July weekend to celebrate and reflect on a great year abroad.
Our first stop, Stirling Castle dates back to the 1300's and is most famous for it's roll in the Scottish struggle for independence from England.
Jesse is always a sucker for a good cannon picture. (See previous Jesse cannon pictures)

The William Wallace Monument towers above the Stirling Bridge. This is the famous site of the Wallace led Scottish victory over the English. King Edward's knights attempted to cross the bridge they were trapped in a bottle neck, and the Scottish slaughtered them three abreast.

Wallace truly swung a huge sword, an impressive 5 feet 6 inches long!
Over 240 steps led us to the crest of the tower where the wind threatened to carry us over. The next stop on our journey was the city of Edinburgh.
