It was our last day in Scotland and we desperately wanted to visit Midhope Castle "Lallybrock" from Outlander. We took a train to Dalmeny and then thought we could take a bus to get to Midhope but the bus didn't take us anywhere near there. So we got the bus to drop us off at a Tesco Super and called for a taxi, but since we didn't pre book there were none available at the time.
We called Ferry Cabs and they said they would try to help but couldn't guarantee we would get a ride in time before the castle closed for the day. A short while later, a very sweet Taxi driver named David came and picked us up ON HIS DAY OFF and took us to Lallybrock! He was the sweetest kindest man ever and if it had not been for him we would have had to leave Scotland brokenhearted that we didn't get to see Lallybrock! He gave us to much history of the castle and the area and was like our own private tour guide! Right before we left the castle, I fell and landed in stinging nettle! On the ride back to the train station in Dalmeny, David spotted the green leafy plant that is the antidote to stinging nettle and pulled over to get some for me to rub on my hands! David went above and beyond! He is awesome! David if you remember a young mother with a very talkative baby and a very southern speaking grandmother from America, we love you! You are our hero! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more
