Will you try haggis?

Leaving York today, off to Edinburgh in Scotland with a few stops along the way.

First stop was Settle

Second stop Grasmere. Saw Wordsworth’s grave along with some pretty purple flowers in the garden behind the church’s grave yard.

Quick Pitstop at Gretna Green in Scotland. Bit of history… This town is just across the line between England and Scotland. In the past (1770s) the city was the place for runaway lovers. Why? Well, the age of to consent to marriage in England was 21 years, but in Scotland it was 14 yrs for boys and 12 yrs for girls, so many young lovers would run across into Scotland to marry.
