I finally got lazy today and broke down and paid for a hop on/hop off bus around Stirling, mostly because I wanted to see three sites, and two of them were outside of town on either end of one another. I started out this morning, avoiding my friend from last night (see previous entry), and got on the bus. I hit up the Wallace Monument first. There are something like 263 steps to the top, with stops on the way in rooms housing such exhibits as a sword Wallace used in bat...

back in stirling. this was part of the the tour. which is good cuz, we did not have time the other day.

Took another daytrip out of Edinburgh to Loch Lomond and the Stirling Castle. The tour took us through Glasgow, driving round the city, passing the Glasgow University (and other sites which I now forget) before stopping at the St. George Square for a 20 minute photo op. Pretty typical town square, and from what I saw, the operators could've arranged for a better site for the stop. After a few snaps here and there, we were summoned back on the bus where we would resume our j...

While the name Haggis may put some people off (if you don't know what it is, check out one of my later posts), I had heard many great things about this tour company. It was very well organized and we were off on your tour in no time. Our first stop, not too far outside of Edinburgh, was the William Wallace monument in Stirling. The monument itself is a tower that extends from the top of a hill, and can be seen for quite a distance though. When we pulled up, our guide (...
