Flowers at Inchcolm Abbey

Flowers at Inchcolm Abbey

Some flowers on an old wall at Inchcolm Abbey.  The Abbey is a beautiful ruin in the Firth of Forth, accessible via a short ferry ride across the bay from Edinburgh. It was cold, even in late July, but worth the trip. The Wikipedia article on the island, linked below, says this is the place referenced in Shakespeare’s Macbeth:

That now Sweno, the Norwayes King,
Craves composition:
Nor would we deigne him buriall of his men,
Till he disbursed, at Saint Colmes ynch,
Ten thousand Dollars, to our generall use
