The weather wasn't so good today. I'm told it's typical Wigtownshire weather, though - rainy, cold and windy. We started off going to the library
to use their internet. The only place in Newton Stewart with internet access - no internet cafés here! Even though I can't plug my memory stick
in to upload photos, and I couldn't get msn to work, it's free for an hour so I can't really complain! I didn't use up the whole hour sending
emails but my cousins pretty much did. I had a look around the library at a couple of books though, so not all bad.
After that, the rain got pretty bad, but we didn't let that stop us from going to the "Cairn Holy" (I think it's spelled), which are some standing stones not unlike stonehenge. Though unlike stonehenge, which were laid by druids, these were apparently left by vikings and may have even been used for cremation! You can't really tell from the picture, but it was raining cats and dogs and I got out of the car just long enough to take a photo and get back in again :)
My mum, my grandmother and I then went to the Bradnoch Distillery, where they apparently make some pretty good Whiskey and they even have a guided tour. We were too late for the tour though, but we got some souviners in the little shop there.
The weather back to the house got much worse before we arrived, and we had to drive pretty slow for fear of driving into a tree! We got here safe, though, and had a fairly early night.
