Some pictures of Old Aberdeen.




These are from our walk on the weekend. We went into Old Aberdeen, it was really pretty.  When we arrived at King's college, built in the 1400s, there was a bagpiper in a kilt outside the door of the chapel and we realized that there was a wedding, so we sat outside and waited for the couple to come out.  We heard the regular wedding march and then the bagpiper began to play.  The couple came out in full Scottish wedding garb, the groom in a nice kilt and tuxedo jacket and the bride was just beautiful.  Then a lot of the guests came out to take pictures of the couple and lots of the men were in kilts and many of the women were wearing fantastic hats, which is a tradition here.  It was really neat to see.

I notice that you are getting the nice fall colors too. It looks just gorgeous there! Though I do notice all of the moss etc on the buildings and architecture... adds to the coolness factor.
