The story behind the highland coo is the before and after … before the coo went to the dentist and after the coo went to the dentist. Truth be known - we have no idea what this crazy cow was doing in the museum.
As for the pineapple, it is described as the "most bizarre building in Scotland" this is a summer house built in 1761 with a first floor of cantilevered masonry in the shape of a realistic, prickly pineapple which is 45 feet high. Four chimneys are disguised as stone vases on top of an adjoining wall because the summer house was heated by a furnace which circulated hot air through cavities in the wall. There are 16 acres of gardens with an orchard and the property has been restored by the National Trust for Scotland - and can be rented as a holiday home! We thought we would rent it for the next Brooks family pineapple reunion.
What a great family photo. I love your hats - especially yours, Barbara! You look so cute in one of those! Definitely keep wearing it when you get back to the States. Your photos sure are green!

You guys look like a family of true Scots--will you all have accents when you come back? John is sure getting big and cute.
Explain the steer thing--there has to be a story behind it. . . .
Also, what's the story with the castle/mansion? Is it the new Murdoch Manor?
