May 24 & 25: Edinburgh Marathon Weekend

We're off to Edinburgh to meet up with our lovely friends and for Graeme and Tony to run the Edinburgh marathon. It turns out to be a weekend to remember for everyone. The boys did a fabulous race... Graeme 3hr15min, Tony 3hr 30min. The girls and kids struggled with the logistics and ended up seeing none of the city. Clare did manage to make it to the finish line but must have been having a Frankie moment, looking away the very moment Tony run past the line. Go figure!
The day continued to have complications and the authentic Scotish weather bought Graeme and Susanna to a standstill with flooding over the highway on their way north out of the city. Clare and Tony did manage to find time to pull over and admine the Cairngorm area while cooking dinner but everyone was relieved to find home for the week in at the Barenock Hostel cottage just a few miles out of Drochmandrochit on the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish highlands.
