"Welcome Home, Your Highness"

We have been traveling all over the Lowlands and Highlands of Scotland tracing my family history. It has been an amazing week of castle hopping, haggis testing, Highland Festival going, Loch Ness watching, hill rolling, ice cream tasting, non-stop picture taking, bag pipe hearing, steam train chasing and constant "wow" saying!

Huntingtower (built in the 15th Century) was given to the Murray's in 1643.  When we arrived there the lady at the gate asked if I was a member.  I wasn't sure what she meant, so I told her I was a Murray.  She then bowed and said "Welcome home, your ladyship".  She went on to say she we were not there to reclaim the castle.  Now that is what I call an amazing experience!
She gave the girls the keys to the castle, the silver one is the original and she asked we don't loose them, as t hey are the only keys that can unlock the castle.

Of course the kids had to try out the keys in the castle door.  I guess being Murray's we have some privilege in Perth.
