The uni took us on various tours yesterday, and I went to Stirling Castle and the Glengoyne Distillery. The castle is an amazing place, having been taken and retaken countless times by English and Scottish forces over the years.
You can understand why, after seeing the view from the castle. It controls the countryside for miles and miles.
The monument on the hill in the centre is dedicated to William Wallace. The weather was... Scottish yesterday. Had Scottish dew (light rain) throughout.
A succession of Scottish kings (Chad and I included) have set up their thrones at the castle over the years.
Anyways, we also went to the Glengoyne distillery. At that point, my camera ran out of juice, and so I'll have to keep it short. The whisky here is good stuff =). Nothing quite like single malt when it's free. The men working there must be the happiest men in the world - well at least the quality control guy must be.
