    McClef, Being an Engineer and a Yacht Designer in a former life that is one thing I could not miss. From the webcam at the site of The Wheel it seems about two miles out of town. Just a good walk while the ladies shop.

    I wasn't with any ladies who wanted to shop Steve.

    I had been up since 4 am to make sure I got the flight OK, then a bus into Edinburgh then a train from Edinburgh to Stirling, booked in at the B&B then back to the station (stopping at a KFC for some food) to get a train to Falkirk. So I concentrated on the town this time. But yes it looks a fascinating structure that requires a lot of time and attention and it will get that when I go up by my own transport in a couple of months time.

    Perhaps the best way to see the wheel is by narrowboat. 'Tis how i wish to retire but since I've discovered kilts retirement seems further away!
