Sunday morning a group of us drove out to Tribe Animal Sanctuary Scotland, about an hour outside of Edinburgh. For the first time since I arrived here, it was warm enough to go outside without a jacket....for a short while anyway.

John and Morag run an incredible farm, with some of the residents including pigs, lambs, chooks, goats, donkeys, turkeys, and a handful of dogs and cats. Most of the animals are rescued from other farms, with the Highland coos rescued from certain death on their own farm, and moving on to a peaceful life at the sanctuary. It was a real buzz getting up close and friendly with animals you don't really see day to day. The pigs would come up quite close and open their mouths in the hope of another apple or carrot. They were huge, and their teeth weren't much smaller! The lambs and chooks were quite happy for a snuggle, and Leonard the Turkey pranced around all puffed out and gobbling, proving that he was the alpha male.

It was such a pleasure meeting John and the animals, and I do recommend anyone to visit or donate if they're able. Alternatively, pop into Tribe Tattoo, part of their extended not-for-profit family.

The sanctuary was such a wonderful way to spend my last day here, and I just can't believe how fast the time has gone. As much as I'm looking forward to the warm weather, I'm so hesitant to leave.

Until next time, Scotland.
