I met up with the 'Mongol Rally Mums' (Lorna and Nicola) yesterday, and the venue was Stonehaven. Some of you may remember that we were a support group for each other when our sons did the Mongol Rally together over an 8-week period from July 2016. This involved driving from London to Mongolia in an entirely unsuitable Peugot 206.
Anyway, we've stayed in touch (as have the boys) and we had a beautiful lunch at the Tolbooth Seafood Restaurant (the large, red sandstone building). It's the oldest building in Stonehaven (late 16th century) and was originally used as a courthouse and a prison. Today the restaurant is upstairs and there is a community run museum on the ground floor.
Of course I went for a wee walk whilst I was waiting for the ladies to arrive. Stonehaven was looking stunning in the July sunshine.
Beautiful weather! Hubby has been teaching out of Largs this past week and the poor beginners had 28 knot winds and torrential rain! Scotland is a wee bit broken up for weather with all those lochs and mountains, I guess!
Stonehaven looks a super spot
Such a picturesque place. The Mongol rally sounds like a huge challenge and I am sure you have lots of stories from that time. Nice you still get together.
What fun to have stayed in touch and have a chance to visit! BTW, I was thinking of your image of royalty on the golf course when I took the shot of the plastic alligator on ours. The contrast to me was hilarious -- though both courses are the walking sort.

Great that you have all stayed in touch..
