I was just reading about an interesting DNA project concerning the clan. http://dna-project.clan-donald-usa.org/<br /><br />The Viking boat is probably much smaller than a real one would've been. It was not even a replica really. Not sure what to call it. :) But it was neat sitting in the woods, almost like a band of Vikings had slipped on shore and hidden their boat.Vonda Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680397260476850190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-70130497168883249332012-03-06T13:30:05.386-05:002012-03-06T13:30:05.386-05:00Hi, Paisley, I remember your beautiful photos of A...Hi, Paisley, I remember your beautiful photos of Armadale and they inspired me to want to visit! The gardens are so beautiful no matter the time of year. We saw a lot of bluebells too. The museum is fantastic with so much information there's no way I could remember it all. I wonder if there's a book covering all the displays? I'll have to check. Thanks for checking it out!

We were told that there is one of every tree in the world planted there. Don't know if it is true, but they certainly have a lot of varieties.<br /><br />Ken enjoyed seeing the castle as a whole, too. He pointed out where he had his photo taken. :)<br /><br />We also went through that museum. All those long swords were amazing. I never have figured out how they lift them much less take a swing at someone. <br /><br />Thanks for taking me back to such a fantastic memory.
