Up to Scotland

 












Next leg of the journey started with a train.  Loved the Hogwarts stuff at the train station.  It was a little confusing at first, but we figured it out.  We got good at figuring stuff out.  It was about a three-hour ride from London to Edinburgh.  Our seats were facing backwards, and I was in the aisle, so I didn't see much out the window. I was hoping to see the funny sheep I saw last time, but I was denied.  

Edinburgh was one of those quick trips.  Basically, just a stopping point on the journey.  It is where my biggest adventure started though.  We rented a car.  And I drove it.  Yes, wrong side of the car, on the wrong side of the road, going the wrong way on roundabouts.  I am happy to report that I survived it and it was not as bad as I made it out to be in my mind.  It helped having a navigator who helped watch for things.  I only hit two curbs a bit.   

We rented the car so we could do some stops around Stirling.  It is hard to do that when you are on a train or a bus.  So, we saw the Kelpies, saw the Wallace Monument (but not up close as they did not have a shuttle driver that day), and the Stirling Castle.  

Then I finished the drive to Glasgow.
