Stirling, Scotland, UK by the kids

On the 15th we went to a place where we rented a car to drive to Stirling, the drive was long but the country side was beautiful when we got to Stirling we went to our hotel, it was nice then we went out to get some food then came back and went to sleep.
On the 16th we went out and we went to sports field, there was a bunch of other people there, why, because it was the highland games. There was highland dancing, racing, bike racing and my favourite, heavy weights, the heavy weights included caber toss, hammer throw, weight over the bar, weight for distance, shot put and the Stirling stones. My favourite was the caber toss, they chucked it really hard that it flipped over, it was cool. There was a lot of racing, and they had bike racing, ON GRASS, we looked a bit at the racing and then we went to the highland dancing it was really good. After that we went to a nice restaurant because it was mum and dad’s anniversary, it was a bit expensive, but it was really filling, I got a burger with haggis, it was delicious, after that we went back to the hotel and slept.
On the 17th we went to a castle but to get there we had to go over a hill to get there, the hill had lots of plants and greenery, it was beautiful, we kept walking and in a little clearing guess what there was, there was rabbits. We looked at them for a bit and then kept going. When we got to the castle it was really big and looked awesome, we wanted to look at everything we could. There were lots of interesting pillars and statues they had a life-sized statue of the king, but before I tell you about that I’ll tell you some facts about the castle. It was built from between 1490-1600, it was constructed by James V, there was lots of statues on the walls they had a statue Venus and Jupiter. After looking on the outside we went into it, there were different styles of buildings because they were built at different times. They had a couple of exhibitions about stuff it was cool after that we went back to the hotel and slept.

On the 15th we took a bus to a place where we picked up our car. Then we drove to sterling. When we got there, we did shopping.
On the 16th we went to the highland games. It was mum and dad’s anniversary. We saw dancing, sword fighting, weightlifting and running. There was one activity where there were two big rocks on a metal pole, and you had to pick it up. I really liked it. then we stuffed ourselves at dinner. I had a big lasagna.
On the 17th we visited the Stirling castle. But first we saw bunnies. I liked seeing bunnies hopping around. I also loved walking on the hills. The Stirling castle is big and made of stone. Stirling castle is one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland. It had rooms were the king and queen would sleep. They also had the great hall where they had meetings. There was also a room filled with fake heads of people. Then we walked back through the hill and to our place. We had dinner and went to sleep. Dad prepared a lot of food we ate until we were full.
On the 18th we packed and drove to Nairn which is near Inverness. I loved the countryside.
