Decided to skip Edinbergh until later

After struggling to find a place to stay in Edinburgh, we decided to punt and plan better for the tour of the city at the end of the trip. Reserve soon and stay later. Weather is good today but will deteriorate tomorrow. So off we went to pick up the car. Seems like the deal is better than I had thought but will wait to see what the actual charges are at the end.

Diane decided to drive first. Not as bad as first drive in Ireland. Must have been a bit better. Peter was not sucking air and clutching the console as much this trip

Drove up to the Falkirk wheel about 45 min out of town to see this giant ferris wheel like thing transporting canal boats from one canal at one level to another. Pretty ingenious device

Then on to Crieff, summer resort area. We arrive in time for the last tour/tasting at Famous Grouse. Very interesting. We had a wee sip of 2 types of whiskey and brought home the remaining tasting in special containers to savor later. Found our B&B and walked up the hill to find something to eat. Not much to eat today: piece of cheese and bread from the shops last Eve and a shared sandwich at lunch. Boy! We sure will be tired of white bread after this trip! Dinner a shared pizza and a rocket salad. Found my favourite chocolate covered ginger cookies at the shop next door that I enjoyed in the early-mid 2000s when I was over here on business in GuilfordRead more
