Monkland Canal

After turning in our campervan, we treated ourselves to a taxi to the Uphall train station. The train was just pulling in, and our driver told us to run to make it. He said we could buy a ticket on the train. Thank goodness, that was the case. It was actually pretty slick after a few stops the conductor came by, he even knew where we boarded the train. They must have cameras everywhere. The train ride was less than an hour to Glasgow Central. We were a little early to check in so we stopped for a nice lunch. Glasgow seems like a typical city until you look up, the architecture is so impressive. Our hotel was really nice, the young man who checked is in gave us some great advice on where to go. We found a nice Greek restaurant on our way to the Pot Still and we really enjoyed our dinner. We ate most of our meals in the campervan so I'm feeling quite spoiled. I know it won't be long until I'm tired of restaurant food but not yet. The Pot Still was packed but in no time at all people had invited us to sit with them. Both couples were locals and they enjoyed educating us on scottish whiskeys and all Glasgow has to offer. They also introduced me to Irn Bru a super sweet scottish soft drink. We had a great evening and were moving a little slower the next morning. We didn't have to check out until noon so we went for a walk in the morning. We ended up at the train station and decided to pre-purchase our tickets to Oban. It was a good thing we did because there was some issues with the train service. They told us not to worry as they would put us on a bus if the trains couldn't get through.Read more
