Hi all, in Edinburgh now

To all whom have never been and to whom I have not spoken to in the last few days, Edinburgh is a lovely city!
We had a major mishap with Dee's rear wheel axle this side of St. Andrews, as a result met a few super people that really tried to help us. We ended up taking train to Edinburgh from Leuchers. Spent a few days coming down the east coast, the weather was great and at times foggy, esp. over Dundee. We hope to get the bike fixed in the next few days and then we decide on our further progress. After passing through the Great Glen on the designated cycle route that was very hilly and lovely, though didnt really take us past Ness, we skirted Inverness and went through Nairn. That night we slept in someones garden and the following day arrived early in Findhorn.where we were impressed by the setup, and some of the houses were absolutely gorgeous. They have windmills that supply much of the power for the village and that impressed us too. we laft there at around 5pm and cycled to Port Gorden where we camped overlooking the sea. Dee says the town was Lovecraftian- whatever that means. We then cycled to Maud where we got the cyclepath to Dyce, close to Aberdeen, straight path, -old train line, no cars.Got there real early like 00.30 froze asses off that night cos we wernt bothered enough to put up tent in a park in Dyce. Aberdeen better 2nd time through, confusing town, quite pretty in places. Left Aberdeen and cycled to the seaside town of Stonehaven via a very arseways route- the N1 cyclepath, the day was too hot and I was a grumpy. Stayed 2 days in Stonehaven swam in outdoor heated seawater pool built in art neuveau style and ate deep fried mars bar- would be better without the batter (I think) Saw Dunnottar castle and took great pic of what we think may be a osprey or something else raptory. On our way to Forfar, we stopped at the house of a lovely man who lives in a Canadian WWII dorms for the soldiers, after 60 years this strange half barrel structure is still standing. We were chatting to them for around three hours!! They breed Jack Russel terriors. The following day we spent half of it scanning gravestones for ancestors, tedious process as the graveyard is massive,gave up 1/3 of the way through them- sorry. Perhaps another day we complete the job. So after Forfar the next big thing was cycling the Tay bridge that is +_ 11/2 miles long, on a dedicated cyclepath, we stopped the night in Tayport, then we went through St. Andrews, another nice, pretty town (wealthy) and had the upset. We have seen so many raptors; buzzards, eagles, Kestrels, even a flock of small raptors leaving a field. I also think we saw a barn owl on our night cycle. What a place for bird watchers and history enthusiasts!! Gonna go, thanks for reading!! hope to post pics. Remake, do we know you?
