Hi all. We're in a small village in Scotland called Balloch. Somewhere northwest of Glasgow. We had a nice trip from Liverpool, after stopping at Blackpool, Lancaster castle, and Carlisle castle, we arrived in Glasgow at a very nice B&B hotel (the Newton Inn). We highly recommend it for a nice comfortable well-looked after place to stay. We walked around the corner to a busy campus hangout type street, lots of pubs, nightclubs, and restaurants, and had dinner at a "campus pub". That's what it was called. It seemed to cater almost exclusively to students, except for us old fogies of course.
This morning we had a very nice breakfast in the hotel, and toured a castle just outside of Glasgow, and David Livingston's house. We then headed to Dumbarton to see the castle there, and got stuck in a 5 mile traffic jam on the motorway. With being unfamiliar with the roads, we didn't want to get off the motorway and try a different route. Anyway I need to finish lunch so we can carry on to Stirling Castle, and then Edinborough, for the night. more to come later
