I did, in Edinburgh, and while it was really good, that donut beat all. (Close second to the donut being the whisky toffee sponge at the end of the best meal of the trip, a haggis-rich affair that leaves me wondering what all the fear was about. Then again, anything in a whisky cream sauce is bound to be palatable 😂)
Thanks, Terry. That bookshop had wonderful books and crannies to spend a whole afternoon exploring, easily. Would love to hear what you think of it!
Bryn!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences! Lots of memories flooded back of my visit there! Somehow I missed the donuts! Imagine???! And you got to Leakey’s Bookstore! YAYYYY! Isn’t that amazing! LOVE this piece! Thank you!
Thank you! I thought of you and Louise over there, especially when we were in Inverness. 💕 looking forward to reconnecting when you’re back, hope you’re having a great visit so far!
Soyou didn't try deep fried Mars bars?Lovely pics and descriptions. I'm going to have to visit that bookshop some time.

I've never tried deep fried Mars bars myself. Would love a whiskey donut though! If I manage to get there, I'll let you know!
Haggis is absolutely delicious! Roll on Burns' Night!

We would love to visit the UK again. We never got to Scotland last time. Maybe this time....
Oooh, are you planning to go? Happy to provide details if needed to help with your trip planning 😃
Not anytime soon, but it's a destination we definitely want to get to. Thanks!
You make a pretty solid case for Scotland, Bryn! Oh, we could spend a minute there!
Admittedly not a hard case to make but happy to do so all the same! Thanks, Ron!
Ah, Scotland. The less Scottish version of Nova Scotia (I heard this once from a Scottish researcher visiting NS).
This is fascinating and I need to know more. (They’re talking Cape Breton, right?)
🤣
glad you got to step out of a canada and have a nice time :)
Thanks! It was nice to explore something so strange yet so familiar. 🥰
Ohhhhhhh! Leakey's Bookshop! Tattie scones! Shell beaches on Skye! Bryn, this post is a glorious showcase of some of what Scotland has to offer!
Thank you!! It still feels surreal that we were there. I could have spent hours on that beach 🥰
