On the 12th headed to the Haggis station and got on the yellow bus with 17 others (mostly Aussie) and Fergis the Scotish guide/driver. He has heaps of little stories that Icant remember perfectly so will just have to tell u when it triggers my memory. We got to Sterling and went up the 10 min vertical walk (loved that at 9.30 in the morning) up to the William Wallace monument. Views wearnt that great because of the weather but cleared the lungs well. At the bottom they have a replica of Mel Gibson, not well recieved by the Scottish folk as the film is nothing like what actually took place. We then went through the valley of Glencoe which was pretty spectacular. A few castles latter we are in the largest town were going to stay at for the trip, Oban. Had tea in a pub then walked up to an old Georgian tower at the top of the hill. Cant tell u how gret the views are, the pictures dont even do it justice!
