Update

Inverness to Oban - As you can see by the pictures we picked up an extra passenger in the form of a huge nail lucky we had very capable men to do the change an we were once again on our way.
We touched on a bit of Harry Potter en route to view the Glenfinnan Viaduct unfortunately we did not see the train as we needed to be in Oban early to get the tyre fixed. The tyre could not be fixed so cost Russell a new one. Had a very relaxing night in Oban several games of pool at our Hotel - The Wide Mouthed Frog.
Oban - Stirling -Stirling Castle we spent several hours here as we had a guided tour. Overall not as impressed as we all were with Edinburgh Castle to much restoration and not enough authenticity. From the Castle we drove to the William Wallace Memorial (Braveheart) this was certainly impressive the young ones climbed to the top as I looked on. Again Louisa excelled our accommodation was great.
Stirling-  Glasgow first stop the Falkirk Wheel as the picture explains it is a rotating boat lift connecting canals really amazing. From there to the Kelpies they were really impressive and we took lots of pictures as shown.
Last stop Glasgow. As we drove in we got caught in an alternative IRA demonstration and had to follow them aall the way in before we could turn off to our hotel. After booking in we the did the walk the city. Not a great feel being a Saturday lots of alcohol consumption. Found an great Greek restaurant food was amazing.
Glasgow - London heading for the airport to drop off our people mover which we have clocked up over 1000 miles. Have had a wonderful week sadly Jess, Matt, Adam & Louisa are back to work and Russell & I head to Cornwell. Weather has been great overall a little cool but certainly not the rain you have been experiencing. Did watch the All Blacks on the I Pad really enjoyed
