As I posted all last week, Jay and I were able to take a "quick" long weekend trip to Scotland a few weeks ago. We spent the first day wandering around our home base of Edinburgh, rented a car the second day to travel to some ruins south of the city, spent the third day taking a train north to St.Andrews, and then spent our last day lazing around Edinburgh again and indulging in a swanky traditional Scottish meal.
These photos were from our last stop on our day-long road trip, at a portion of Hadrian's Wall near Hexham, England.
Hadrian's wall was erected sometime around AD122 by emperor Hadrian as a fortification, supposedly to protect Roman Britain from attack from the north.
The wall is almost 118 miles long, and varies in width from 10 to 20 ft wide, and in height from 11 to 20 ft tall. The portion we visited sits atop a large crag. That's Jay at the top for size reference.
And the view from the top!
