St. Andrew Market Street - 56°20'24.88"N 2°47'33.76"W
*Market Street
TTT wake up around 8am today morning. It’s been 3 days that TTT didn’t really take a “true” bath. While they taking a pee in the toilet by the beach, TTT found that there’s a water tap in the toilet room, and they decided to, hehehe… Take a bath there!
(Actually British/European do not like people to use water in toilet room because of their weather is cold, once the floor is wet, it will be a hard time to make it dry. I bet you can’t find a water tap around the toilet bowl in Europe. So if anyone need water in toilet, please bring yourself a container with a pipe.)
TTT starts to take turn to take bath. And Wow!! The water is chilled! But no choice! TTT have to carry on and finish their bath in shortest time.

Wahh! TTT now really feel refreshing after a bath, although is not a relaxing bath! They went to the Market Street after that and have doughnut and coffee at Subway as their breakfast.
CH really loves this little street. All the shop and building over there is quite old, even the road is made by cobblestone. The shop is small, but you can find lot of thing there, especially souvenir, whiskey shop and golf equipment shop. TTT also take chance to top up their sundries at the little Tesco along the Market Street as well. Just for you information, St. Andrew is the place of origin of golf. (For Malaysian: Please try to find a golf-shaped whiskey in airport liquor shop next time, it is from St. Andrew).
TTT visit few places before leaving to next destination:
St. Andrew Castle
St. Andrew University of Golf
St. Andrew Catheral, just right opposite of Market Street - 56°20'22.97"N 2°47'23.09"W
After that TTT leaving St. Andrew around 11am and continue with their next destination – Dundee
Dundee – 56°27'39.10"N 2°58'10.86"W
* This is exactly where the Desperate Dan is.
After TTT pass through Tay Road Bridge and went into Dundee, TTT stop their car in city centre of Dundee and walked to the High Street(accidentally), which is the most happening place in Dundee, it is surrounded by Overgate shopping complex and City Square. There’s a bronze statue in the centre of the Square, which is Desperate Dan. Desperate Dan is the hero of local comic.
After taking some photo with Desperate Dan and City Square, TTT take a quick lunch: Green Giant Corn, Instant Spaghetti, Bread with Nutte Chocolate Jam(again), chilled Coke and continue their Journey to next destination: Stonehaven & Aberdeen.
Accidentally on their journey to Stonehaven, they went into a small town called Arbroath
Arbroath Abbey - 56°33'45.00"N 2°34'55.70"W
As they drive in the small town, they accidentally (again, yes, travel in Scotland is like that, it will give you a lot of surprise) saw the Arbroath Abbey. Arbroath Abbey was built 3500 years ago by Red sandstone. The architecture is full of holiness. In the gallery, TTT can viewed the Original Abbey in 3D computer generate model. It looked very real!
Stonehaven - 56°58'0.73"N 2°12'21.37"W
After that they continue their journey to Stonehaven. The journey was quite enjoying, since they’re driving all along the coast. The sea looks really blue, and the grass really green and neat if compared to Malaysia. After about 1 and half hour, they reach the Stonehaven. TTT can see that there’re quite numbers of tourist haven vacation there. And Stonehaven is quite comfortable. It is windy and can see lot of seagulls!
The TTT walk on one of the end of the “little jetty”
TTT didn’t stop long over there, they continue to go to Aberdeen.
Aberdeen - 57° 7'45.21"N 2° 6'2.06"W
* Duthie Park, place exactly where they have their dinner.
Though, not much tourist spot in Aberdeen. TTT guest Aberdeen is the City of Pentadbiran. Anyway, TTT manage to visit some place:
1) Aberdeen University
2) Duthie Park – TTT stop here for dinner. A nice place with a big rectangular pond and can seagull and birds, various kind of birds loafing around the pond.
After dinner, TTT continue their journey to next destination, Inverness.
Actually their journey going to be more interesting but TTT already exhausted by the rush journey. Aberdeen and Inverness is 103 miles away. TTT were also facing same problem as they’re in Dumfurmline, it was hard to find a way out of the city. When they found it, it is already quite late.
There’s one funny thing happened while they taking a stop for pee at road side, which the weather is quite cold outside. So CH decided to put the Scottish thermometer he bought at Edinburgh and measure the coldness of the area. But after they pee, CH totally forget about the thermometer and only after 30 minutes of their drive from the pee spot, CH only aware of it. Aiks… Better forget it, the sky is dark and there still long way to go for their journey. What a forgetful CH.
Keith - 57°32'35.86"N 2°57'5.60"W
After around 30 minutes ride, TTT reach a small town called Keith. They have a fish and chip as supper and pee then continue their journey. CH only found out today that Keith is the place of origin of Chivas Regal, the distillery just a 10 minutes walk away from where they eat their fish and chip. What a waste. Next time CH must go back visit there again.
To Cher Sheng & King Chye: Do you still remember this place?
Elgin - 57°38'58.21"N 3°19'8.54"W
TTT pass by a small town which full of historical heritage called Elgin. But it was already too late, TTT just have a quick photo and continue to Inverness.
When TTT reach Inverness, it is already 1.00am. TTT just stop their car infront of the Train Station and have a sleep. It was a good sleep for CH.
Today is another tiring journey for TTT, but TTT still don’t know what’s interesting stuff awaiting for them…..
