Scottish Tours and Canal Walk.

Scottish Tours

I realised I hadn't added any posts to my Blog recently, so here's a rundown on what I've been up to.

Over the past wek or so I have done a few Scottish Tours, firstly a mini-tour of Edinburgh and Stirling, and a Tour of Loch  Lomond and Inveraray for a Mother and Daughter from Singapore, then a Tour of Burns country and Brig o' Doon, with an American Group comprising Mother, Daughter, and Mother's Sister.

The second Tour arose from a misunderstanding by the Travel Agent, when they had asked to see Brigadoon (which is impossible as it only appears from the mist once every hundred years). However they enjoyed the Day, including Burns Cottage and the new Museum, and were delighted when they learned that Brig o' Doon was where the Witch (Cutty Sark) grabbed the tail of Tam O' Shanters' horse as he rode over the bridge. We all had our sillhouettes done at the Museum, and mine is shown above.

Canal Walk 



I've decided to get back into shape again, so I went on a short (5 mile) walk today from Kirkintilloch to The Stables Bar/Restaurant and back. It was a pleasantly cool morning, and there was not much traffic on the Canal, apart from a couple of Tour Boats, and I saw a couple of heron.
