That is why I love coming to Aberdeen, I can eat a lot and not gain weight here cos there are lots of walking and hiking up hilly lanes in the cold freezing weather!
Stonehaven is not finished for us yet, we came here again the second time... the first time was to see the castle and the second time round, we walked up to the War Memorial. This memorial is on top of Black Hill and can be seen from most parts of Stonehaven and its surrounding areas, providing a permanent and daily reminder of the loss of life from those who died in the first world war 1 and 2. My BIL has an interest in visiting these war museums and memorials and paying homage to those who had sacrificed their lives during that time...
The small path we walked from where we parked our car....

The memorial is very pretty, kind of classical looking. And beautiful flowers. I bet you were glad for those benches!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flowers around the memorial area. Those scenery made me want to go to Scotland.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers? Daffodils? Up? Hmmm...you will have to push me from behind. LOL!!!
