We celebrated our seventh (copper and wool) anniversary with a trip to Scotland!
I gave Nick a wool sweater, wrapped in a copper-coloured box, with this handmade card keeping to the theme.
Nick gave me a copper farthing and these sliver shillings, all dated 1898 (100 years before we met). We will use the shillings in our Christmas puddings.
At home, we celebrated with a chocolate truffle cake, dusted with copper
In the lovely and highly recommended Ayden Guest House, we breakfasted on porridge and eggs Benedict.

We sampled eight different types of whiskey at the Whiskey Heritage Centre. (Not a tour I would recommend).
