A day on the road - Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine and on to Stirling Castle.
Rapeseed fields are amazingly yellow. It was cloudy this day and the photo doesn't do the colour justice.
Loch Lomond.
The Steamship Sir Walter Scott. A lovely trip down Loch Katrine. A lovely, chilly trip.
This gentleman is defending the entrance to Stirling Castle.
This was something that would NEVER happen in North America. The left edge of this walkway is an 8 foot drop. There's no railing. There are no warning sighs. I loved it.
Judging from the door, I wonder what type of education is happening in there?
This was a chapel where Mary Queen of Scots had her son James VI baptised in 1565. Yes, 1565.
Detail of the tapestry.
Fireplace in the Great Hall where the reigning monarch would greet visitors and generally do the business of being a king/queen.
Detail of the Great Room roof - reconstructed based on period techniques.
The Forth Bridge. No, there are not 1st, 2nd or 3rd. This crosses the River Forth.
