This is Bruce's Stone in Glen Trool:
It is slightly more convincing than the other Bruce's Stone at Clatteringshaws Loch which states "this is the stone that Robert the Bruce may or may not have rested on". I realise that we have to attract tourists, but this is really clutching at straws.
So, the highland folk drove South - didn't quite make it to the Lakes - and enjoyed some fantastic days doing hill stuff and city stuff.
Two things really strike me about city life. How can I survive for hours and hours on the hill and still feel refreshed at the end of it, but after 3 hours in a shopping mall I am absolutely knackered?
The second thing about city life that perplexes me is ordering food at KFC. Why, when you order a 2 piece variety meal do you get 5 pieces of chicken? Is this not a 5 piece variety meal?
Oh, don't let the pretty sunny pictures fool you - there are 4 pairs of soaking wet shoes drying outside that will never be the same again.
