Located high above Dollar Glen, 🏰 Castle Campbell is one of the most dramatically positioned castles in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 As Paula’s Mum’s maiden name is Campbell we when to check it out, just an hours drive from Edinburgh. It was interesting to learn more about Clan Campbell, historically one of the largest and most powerful of the Highland clans and with many important guests to the castle including John Knox, the fiery Protestant preacher and Mary Queen of Scots. The tower house was built back in the 1400’s and is one of Scotland’s best preserved. At 20m tall it dominated the courtyard and was the family residence over the four floors. We explored the remains of the many cellars, vaulted storerooms, private chambers and the “Great Hall” while the boys did a counting activity sheet provided at the ticket office. The terraced gardens had amazing views and though our picnic lunch was rained off, they did have an indoor seating area as well. Thank you @histenvscot for keeping our family history alive 😄 #castle #castlecampbell #clancampbell #historicscotland #dollarglen #scotland #unitedkingdom #visitscotland #familyhistory #amazingplaces #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #everywhereclassroom #worldschooling #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #mumsinphotos #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
🐴 The Kelpies 🐴 Two incredible 26m and 30m steel horse head sculptures and the world’s largest equine statues. A kelpie is a shape-changing aquatic spirit of Scottish legend and therefore the name was chosen to reflect the mythological transforming beasts possessing the strength and endurance of 10 horses. While we were in Edinburgh we hired a car and drove about 40 minutes to see them. Incredible design and construction 🤩 #horses #thekelpies #thehelix #homeofthekelpies #falkirk #visitfalkirk #scotland #unitedkingdom #visitscotland #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #kidstravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #everywhereclassroom #worldschooling #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #exploringfamilies #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
When you meet fabulous people through Insta and finally get to their home country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and can met them in person 😄 But then ..... you discover that when you will be in their city they are due to be away on a wee family getaway 😕 And then they offer your family to stay in their home while they are away 💞 Thank you so much Cheryl, Joe, Tyler, Carys and Mason @scottishfamilytravelling for welcoming us into your home and giving us a beautiful place to base our Glaswegian adventures around. It was fantastic to meet you all (even for a few hours) and yes!! We did enjoy our time 🤩 #instagram #igcommunity #igfriends #glasgow #cumbernauld #scotland #unitedkingdom #visitscotland #europe #amazingplaces #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #kidstravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #exploringfamilies #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
🚧 World famous in Glasgow 🚧 This Duke of Wellington statue with an orange traffic cone on top has become an icon in Glasgow over recent years. You see it on many Glaswegian souvenirs and the label of @theglasgowgin 🍸 Erected in 1844, it stood in peace before the early 1980’s when the traffic cone mysteriously appeared. I’m sure we all have a fair idea why 😉 but as soon as the council removed the cone it wouldn’t take long for another to appear in its place. In 2011 there were “Save the Cone!” protests and in 2013 the council planned to double the height of the plinth to dissuade those putting up the cones. A Facebook page and worldwide petition in support of keeping the cone saw the council back down and the cone has stayed!! 👏👏👏 We loved this statue as New Zealanders also love putting orange road cones on top of things 😂 #glasgow #dukeofwellington #roadcone #keepitconey #scotland #unitedkingdom #visitscotland #europe #amazingplaces #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #kidstravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #everywhereclassroom #worldschooling #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #exploringfamilies #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
🎨 The Glasgow Mural Trail 🎨 helping spruce up the city since the first art work was produced in 2008. The portfolio of completed works has expanded since and has a major impact on the city by creating splashes of colour which brighten up lanes and streets for both locals and visitors. We had a fabulous day exploring the streets and finding these incredible works of art. It is a shame though that some people feel they have the right to graffiti them 😢 Do you have a favourite place with cool street art?? #glasgow #glasgowmuraltrail #mural #murals #streetart #scotland #unitedkingdom #visitscotland #europe #amazingplaces #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #kidstravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #everywhereclassroom #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #exploringfamilies #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
Any Game of Thrones ⚔️ fans out there?? Logan has only watched a couple of episodes and I haven’t even seen one, but when we were driving to the Giant’s Causeway we saw a sign for ‘The Dark Hedges’. Knowing that a lot of Game of Thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland we Googled to and found that this was a scene location for the King’s Road. We decided to stop by and see what it looked like. It was actually a pretty cool lane with intertwined beech trees planted in the 18th century. What’s the best or favourite film or TV location you have been to?? #thedarkhedges #gameofthrones #GOT #kingsroad #ballymoney #northernireland #visitnorthernireland #nature #europe #amazingplaces #exploretheworld #traveltheworld #seetheworld #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #kidstravel #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #everywhereclassroom #showthemtheworld #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #exploringfamilies #everywherefamilies #travelbrood #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
