July 5- Edunburgh Castle, Skyfall filming location

Departed the Langstrath Hotel and drove to Kessick to return boots.  Then drove about 3 hours to Edinburgh, Scotland.  It was foggy and rainy, but we toured Edinburgh Castle.  We went on a short, guided tour then explored on our own.  We parked in a garage downtown and ate at Subway.  Mid-afternoon, we departed for the Scottish Highlands, towards Glencoe, Scotland. We found the James Bond Skyfall filming locations, including Dalness Lodge and the ski resort.  Drove down tiny, beautiful one lane roads and took many pictures. 
We ate a super quick dinner at the historical King’s House Hotel.  It's been a hotel since the 1600s I think.  Really neat inside.  We found our campsite easily and spent some time talking with the owners.  The husband worked in the agricultural tree division of the World Bank and the wife invited us in to their house.  The daughter and granddaughter were visiting.  There was only one other man at the campsite.  The bathrooms and showers werevery new and nice.  We had perfect camping weather and I really had fun.  We even went to bed before dark.
