Welcome to Scotland, a quick trip for a birthday visit and various family catch ups.
A Sunday walk to the amazing Falkirk Wheel via the interesting iron works.
An afternoon at the Wallace monument.
An evening at the pineapple house.
——————————-
A Monday morning road trip to the beach!
A freaky backwards trip up the hill at Electric Brae (I admit I was sceptical).
After a 50p pee, a lovely walk around a fixer upper. Nothing a farmhouse sink won’t fix.
A wander around the quaint wee boat harbour at Dunure, followed by some coffee and scones.
——————————
Tuesday among the old buildings. Clackmannan Tower first.
Then Alloa Tower.
Then Dunfermline church …
the resting place of King Robert the Bruce …
… and the Abbey and Palace.
Then Linlithgow Palace.
More opulence and wealth than a modern person can imagine.
—————————
Thursday in Glasgow for coffee and an Empire (!) biscuit at the gardens.
Followed by a Play, a Pie and a Pint at the Oran Mor.

A Friday \ birthday trip to wander around the very excellent Glasgow transport museum.
