Scotland - Falkirk

First day of our 10 day tour of Scotland, beginning with the long drive from London, why drive you might ask? Well flying would have meant going through an airport which is a fairly unpleasant experience, the train would have taken almost as long, so we figured driving was still a fairly cost effective way to get there and since we needed a car to get around anyway it wouldn't be that much extra for a couple more days, never mind the fact that we were finishing our tour on a bank holiday and there didn't appear to be a rental car place in Scotland which is open on that day!
We got a car with a GPS, we didn't ask for one it just came with one!



We arrived at Falkirk mid afternoon. It was cold, rainy and miserable. We saw the wheel in operation (once). We had a hot dog for lunch from one of the food stalls - it wasn't very nice, we were just desperate for food I think.
First stop Falkirk wheel, I've been wanting to see this ever since a guy at Beca showed me a picture of it a few years ago.




We drove onto to Stirling, and checked into our B&B. We had dinner at Hermans which was very nice, lovely lamb rack and schnitzel. It was still raining as we made our way back to the B&B
