| Cool Place |
Spent time today in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Cool place. They have 3,000+ paintings and 50,000+ prints/drawings/photos. A few, like Mary Queen of Scotts, we recognized. Most we did not. Thankfully, they had several reminder family tree diagrams showing which Mary, George, and Charles were descendants of which. So confusing. Did't find a portrait of Mel Gibson (Braveheart movie); being rated as "one of the most historically inaccurate movies" did not earn points here in Scotland.
Cool too because of the building itself (see photo). Both the exterior and interior are Spanish Gothic sights to behold.
And, cool too because of the weather. Record breaking heat today. Nice to be in a cool inside. The temperature actually got up into the 70's. Saw a few people in shorts and a couple of convertibles with their tops down.
