Robbie's View

Oh how I do wish I could go inside. What a marvellous looking building. But alas I am stuck out here bent on one knee out in the cold and all I have our my thoughts of how wonderful it must be inside.
This a shot of the statue of Robbie Burns that sits out front of the Hotel MacDonald.
Trust you will all have a great weekend
