Peebles

Hubby and I took a wee trip to Peebles today - it is about a two hour drive from Greenock, taking the scenic route.  Situated on the river Tweed, Peebles is a lovely town in the Scottish borders.  It has quite a few small, interesting shops and hasn't been spoiled by the big national chains.  On the drive there we passed lots of fields filled with sheep and lambs - so cute!

I took some photographs of the Old Parish Church in Peebles.

You can see the town crest - one fish swimming in a different direction from the others.  The town motto is "Contra Nando Incrementum" - which means - multiply by swimming against the flow, a reference to the salmon in the River Tweed.

There were quite a few charity shops but, unusually for me - I saw not one single thing that appealed to me!  I did buy some scones and cakes from a little baker's shop.  As soon as we got home I made a cuppa and the goodies were eaten in a matter of minutes - absolutely delicious!
