We started our day at a very tiny breakfast place owned by a delightful grey haired lady in tartan skirt and long white apron. Her room is long and narrow and filled with tea cosies, Scottish mugs, pictures, copper etchings etc. The food is good and she is interesting company. We set off around 11 by train for the town of Stirling to visit Stirling Castle. The castle is spectacularly located on top of a crag with a view in all directions for miles. The castle was interesting to visit - as we were walking the walls, we could picture ourselves as guards keeping watch for, or archers firing on, approaching armies. But it was the beautiful views from the castle that we were most enthused about. Tim was fascinated with the ceilings with painted heads
