Polly doll came along on our trip to Scotland. She had a Highland dancer’s costume made for the occasion, complete with a Glen Garry bonnet. Yes, I know her kilt is not authentic in front, but she insisted on having it look more like a pleated skirt. I took her picture along the way, sometimes with my cell phone for Instagram, like the one at Urquhart Castle (above). The other photos were taken by Rob or me with a fancy Canon camera.
Wild mountain thyme was everywhere!
Polly learned the history of the Scottish Regiment in a museum display at Stirling Castle…
and admired the lush mossy ground.
She visited Edinburgh Castle…
stood amongst the flowers…
and peeked inside a cabinet at Argyll’s Lodging in Stirling.
Polly posed next to a primrose growing along the Great Glen Way…
and atop a bonny lass’s head in a garden near Glasgow.

Blue and white, or all black?
Polly!!! She poses so sweetly for the camera, with such a dear expression. She looks adorable in her bespoke outfit, and Scotland is so beautiful as a backdrop. Who has more patience: Polly in posing for the camera, or Rob taking her portrait? I love your travel diaries.
Thanks Cath, I’m glad that you’re enjoying coming along on the tour!
Polly is at home anywhere, but as a ginger her complexion belongs in the Highlands!
Polly is so cute, Salley, and she certainly gets around! I love her Scottish clothes.
