    8 Days in Scotland

    Last week we were fortunate enough to spend 8 days in Scotland, the first 4 were to cover Bannockburn for which the pictures are on this thread and the final 4 camping in Ayrshire, an area I had not previously stayed in. Aside from Bannockburn, I got my first view of the new (2nd) forth Road Bridge, currently under construction, seen here behind the current road bridge: Click image for larger version.

ID:	20064 the museum is well worth a visit; we even got a few folk songs and Burns recitals from a regular presenter, a function they put on every Wednesday. Continued in next post.
