Glasgow

Jane's birthday in Glasgow was a good excuse for me to head to Scotland for the first time. We flew up on a short (and slightly dodgy) flight on Friday night and stayed in a huge apartment which offered friendly service and full Scottish breakfasts in the morning.

On Saturday we decided to get out of town on a train to Stirling, where we did and audio tour of Stirling Castle and took token photos of the William Wallace memorial. Rather interesting. Saturday night was spent celebrating Jane's birthday.

Clearly washing line vandalism is a problem in Stirling....



It was raining on Sunday which was very frustrating given that the weather in London was a super hot 30 degrees. We had a few hours to fill in before our flight home so wandered aimlessly around town. So all in all I wasn't a huge fan of Glasgow but I am definitely keen to get back to Scotland to check out the lakes, the mountains and to go swimming with Nessie.
