Dunnottar
Beautiful day at Dunnottar Castle, known for several dramatic events in Scottish History. 
Originally built in the 12th century, this heavily fortified castle was laid siege to the likes of William Cromwell for 8 months as he tried to get the Scottish Royal Jewels. William Wallace trapped British Soldiers in the Chapel and burned it down in 1276, and an earthquake cut off the rock entrance so it was practically impossible to attack. 
It's just been a nice day of relaxing and sight-seeing, something we don't do very often. We haven't even been in the north of Scotland yet (the Highlands). We're planning to get out there shortly.

Yes, your pics are absolutely beautiful. And what gives? Did you put two different photos together to get the last photo of you falling off the cliff?
