Today was mostly about
doing business as I needed to get to my bank in Grangemouth and do various
other personal things for my trip to the USA. Rained most of today
but I did try and take some photographs as Stirling is only around 1.5
hours from Pitlochry so a day out in Stirling is certainly an obvious
trip.
As you can see this was not a very nice day so
this was about the best I could do to get pictures of Stirling Castle and
the Wallace Monument
And after taking the picture of the Wallace
visitors centre it was off to the Ochil Hills
So this is us through the four main hillfoot
towns of Menstrie, Alva, Tillicoultry and Dollar
And these last few pictures are of Dollar
Academy where I used to go to school and of the old Dewar House where I
was a border for some seven years. That's the dark stone house towards the
centre right of the picture. It's since been sold and is now a bed
and breakfast
And these final three pictures are me having a
bar lunch at the Leapark Hotel in Grangemouth with Ranald McIntyre and
David Bolton
Thought I'd just include this picture of the
Forth Rail Bridge that was sent into me by John Henderson |
