Off to Scotland

Exit stage Left- err Right




We left Glasgow with the intention of heading up the West Coast but after a couple of wrong turns, I settled for Stirling (in the middle). I think that was a good choice (flukey, but good) as it has probably the best preserved castle around and steeped in the history of BraveHeart and Robert the Bruce. That night we walked around the castle perimeter and met a couple perched up the top of the rock knocking off a bottle of red. The day had been warm and the woman was in a summer top. Unfortunately the weather had turned and she was now as cold as ice! Why is it that when any form of sunshine hits this place, people throw off their warm clothes with gay abandon?

The weather kept closing in so we hightailed it back to our B&B. And so the 11th passed to the 12th with the promise of cold weather for Wednesday.
