Day 4 Reflections
Our journey started with a hardy, delicious breakfast. Then we loaded up our luggage, jumped on the bus and made our way towards Perth. During the ride we occasionally stopped for a picture and some snack breaks. At one point our tour guide began to tell us a story about the Massacre of the MacDonald’s by the Campbell’s. There were so many beautiful sights my camera couldn’t click fast enough! Through our travels to Perth we stopped for some lunch at Pitlochry. There I had some of the best-grilled salmon I have ever tasted. Once our lunch break was over, we got back on our buses and took a short drive to Perth. When we arrived into the town of Perth, it reminded me of Downtown Knoxville. Once we got settled into the new hotel room it was time to do some shopping. It was like a race to see the stores; most of them closed at 5 or 5:30. The styles here in Perth are colorful and very decorative. After shopping, a nap was needed. The long day of traveling wore us all out! Dinner is coming up and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the evening unfolds.

Today, the choir continued its tour of Scotland by traveling through Glen Coe and Perth. We were able to get some much needed rest last night, which alleviated some of the jet lag and lifted everyone’s spirits. After a late breakfast, we left our hotel for a driving tour through Glen Coe, the sight of the infamous Massacre of the MacDonald clan by the Campbell clan. We stopped at Rannoch Moor to take pictures of the rocky landscape, getting a shot of Torye MacDonald and Emily Campbell-Ferguson, choir members, who managed to make peace long enough for a humorous photo (see below). We then drove on to a small town called Killin, where we stopped for a brief amount of time before driving on to Pitlochry, where we took about one and a half hours for lunch and shopping in various stores. Although Pitlochry was a lovely little town, we had to leave at 3:15pm to drive to our new hotel in Perth.
We reached Perth with ample time to explore around town and prepare for a delicious supper at the hotel. Perth is a busy city with beautiful buildings and lots of places to shop. The shops closed at about 6:00pm, so we had free time until supper at the hotel. After supper, was the alumni reception at the hotel, where choir members enjoyed time spent conversing with the alumni who are accompanying us on the parallel tour.
Although we spent quite a long time traveling today, the atmosphere was very relaxed. All in all, it was a good day spent hanging out with our friends and alumni.
