Some notes about Scotland

It's May here but Scotland is still pretty cool, it seems like it rains quite a bit here, everything is green as the greenest grass. 

In the middle of May it's still daylight at 10 PM so you can tell we are pretty far up north.  Even though we are up pretty far north, we are still in the very southernmost part of Scotland, not too far above the border with Great Britain. 

From where I'm at I can see the North Sea about half a mile from us.  It's called the Firth of Forth.  I can see ships and offshore oil derricks going out into the North Sea. 

This morning in the middle of May, it was in the 30s.
