Today is St. Andrews Day! It’s a celebration of Saint Andrew, Scotland’s official patron saint. It is therefore a delightful national holiday complete with national festivities and lots of ceilidhs…an all-around smashing good time! I am sorely missing the land of the Scots these days (though I am not particularly missing the weather). Check out Google’s ode to the Scots!
In celebration of Scotland’s National Day, I thought I’d post a couple of my favourite images of Bonnie Bonnie Scotland, so you, too, can revel in the glories of such a beautiful place!
This is Eilean Donan Castle. (Thank Mark for the bonnie photos).
And this has to be one of the most beautiful, and perfectly shaped mountains ever, Buachaille Etive Mor. (Thank Mark for the spelling on that one.)
Now let’s all sing together Scotland’s lovely National Anthem, and afterwards, have a pint!

Happy St Andrew’s Day, Scotland! I miss you dearly and hope to see your like again soon.
I create resources to help people find deeper, more meaningful relationships with God through pursuing, pondering, and prayer. The "Shop" link above will take you to the home of many of the lovely resources I’ve created to help you keep walking one day deeper with Jesus.
Oh, how appropriate! I just went through a stack of Scotland memorabilia today. Remember when I came to visit you and Mark? What a wonderful trip, and such a blessing to meet him prior to your lovely wedding! I know you must miss such a beautiful place.
scotland misses the Collies too! Fantastic photos – 2 places I’ve never been to in Scotland in fact. Really need to explore the country of my birth more.
Thanks for contributing today Caroline! 🙂
