Scotland in my future?

[flairball]

I haven't been yet, but I'm trying to get the crew to go over together next year to do some shooting. Seems game shooting in Scotland is a bit less expensive than other places. If game shooting isn't in the cards for you (it isn't for everyone) perhaps you might try Salmon or trout fishing, both of which I hear are very good over there.

Anyway, traveling is always good. You'll find ways to stay entertained. Have fun.

But Sherry, think of all the cost and time over-runs, to make the Parly what it is today.





These were taken on a very rainy day, last September.

From early January -





Yes, Daz, I have to agree with you. It's an eyesore. I maintain that with 21st century technology, it would have been so easy to duplicate the surrounding architecture. And it would have blended right in.

We went in to see the For Freedom Alone display, back in September. The Lubeck Letter, the Ayr Manuscript and the Declaration of Arbroath were all on display. I was happy to have the opportunity to see them, but the hall they were displayed in was so dark and oppressive. Nothing like unfinished concrete to provide that warm, welcoming feeling...

Randy, to get back on topic here, I agree with Graham. The Stirling area has a lot to offer, if you are interested in history. Stirling Castle, the Bannockburn Memorial, Cambuskenneth Abbey, the Wallace Monument, Sheriffmuir, Falkirk, Linlithgow, Dunfermline, Alloa Tower, Sauchie Tower, Clackmannan Tower, Castle Gloom, etc.

This area is very rich in history. I'm looking forward to my next trip, just to take in more of what the area has to offer.
