| 0730 | Wake up | |
| 0845 | During breakfast, we decide we might target Stirling and possibly the Trossachs | |
| 1045 | pictures! | At Blair Castle, we got to see a terrific display of weaponry antiques and paintings. |
| 1245 | Leaving Blair - we head to Stirling and the Trossachs | |
| 1550 | pictures! | We've finished up Stirling Castle, one of two major fortresses in the area (the other is Edinburgh). This one is for real. |
| 1700 | We arrive in Edinburgh - what a crazy time! | |
| 1745 | We finally find the hotel, but then spent a while finding parking not too far from the city centre. We finally found a parking garage near the train station. | |
| 1815 | We checked into the Ibis Hotel with a good location near the High Street. | |
| 2015 | After browsing around the shops and finding a hopefully good bottle of whisky to bring back to a friend, we head back to the room to settle in and get ready for tomorrow. Taking in Edinburgh in a day will most definitely be a challenge. | |
| 2300 | I head downstairs to make a phone call from one of those little red phone booths like you see in movies and Monty Python sketches. | |
