The Road to Glasgow

After a first class Ghillies’ full breakfast for me and “the best porridge I have ever had” for Candice, we took a road less travelled to Glasgow. It rained quite heavily most of the way but it was fine by the time we got to Stirling later in the day.

The drive up north and down the centre to Glasgow was picturesque with more farms rather than large estates. It is the end of summer but it is so green and beautiful everywhere. We did pass one estate, Ballindalloch at Glenlivet and stopped near one of the entrances which was a bit special and near a lovely old bridge over the river Livet. This is serious whisky country (The Glenlivet Whisky).

Arrived in Glasgow around 5.00pm in time to check-in for our B&B accommodation for the next three nights. It was a quick change and book an uber to take us to The Curler’s Rest Pub for the parents’ dinner with the boys. Great to see the boys having some fun and time out from practice. Also great to meet more of the other parents and grandparents. The teachers played three items which were enjoyed by all - much clapping and stomping.
On the way out, downstairs, we listened to some local musicians - very like the Scottish Fiddle band that played at the Tatong Tavern. They were very good and added to the flavour and enjoyment of the night.Read more
