Mad dogs & Scotswomen

Feeling a bit knocked out this morning, probably all that sailing the last couple of days plus I'm a wee bit allergic to dogs and the two mad ones racing towards me in this photo are my sister's (with whom I'm staying).

The building in the background is Brodie Castle, near to which a scene of Shakespeare's MacBeth is set (Macbeth and Banquo meet the three witches near Hard Muir and the village of Dyke and ask "How far is 't called to Forres?").

The three ladies in this photo are, however, not modern day witches but my sister and my twin daughters. They are quite normal, really.
