This is a beautiful description of your visit. I've never been to Scotland, but now I really want to visit. (I want to go to Cornwall, too.) Your photos are amazing. I loved the highland cows and the sandstone ridge. I almost got dizzy! I’m late commenting on this. This is a beautiful description of your visit.

Hmmm - I tried that as well! He does gift some sculptures but only if they are going to placed in very public places where thousands of people would see them. Otherwise the larger ones cost many many thousands. Ronnie's sold sculptures therefore tend to grace stately homes and the gardens of the wealthy. However currently there is a <a href="http://www.margaretsmithmsp.com/campaigns/lion-of-scotland.php" rel="nofollow">petition</a> to keep <a href="http://www.ronaldrae.co.uk/pages/selectedartwork.php?artworkid=49&slideshowcode=AVAIL" rel="nofollow">The Lion of Scotland</a> outside Holyrood. It was supposed to be moved, but due to the success of the petition it's still there. “maybe he’d like to place one on the farm??!”

Hope you got some nearer home. Good luck with the band. Amanada I seem to have missed your comment - sorry, don’t think the state allow any flowers to cross their customs.
