Isle of Arran

Another place I visited was the Isle of Arran. To get there I took a train from Glasgow to Ardrossan, then a ferry from Ardrossan to Brodick, then a bus from Brodick to Lochranza. Lochranza Distillery where I participated in a whisky tasting.  The road leads into the hills. Sheep, a house and hills nothing better than that. Very scenic location for a letter box. More sheep, another house and more hills. Lochranza Castle.  

Stirling

This is actually the third destination that I went to with the second being Edinburgh, however, I didn't get any photos in Edinburgh due to it raining all day long. These photos are all from Stirling where I visited Stirling Castle, walked around the town and saw a church/cemetery. The Wallace monument is in the background on the climb up to Stirling Castle. Stirling Castle in Royal Gold. The main door to the castle. A lovely large tree in the Queens garden of the castle. Looking down on the King and Queens Mounts and their old hunting park. Looking down on the cemetery from the castle. Exploring the town of Stirling. In the cemetery looking at the Holy Rude church. Taken on my walk back to the train station.   

Glasgow

Recently I took a trip to Scotland and Ireland, where I visited Glasgow, Edinburgh (no photos of there as it rained all day), Stirling, Isle of Arran, and Dublin. Here are the photos from Glasgow.  Red sandstone buildings are a feature in downtown Glasgow.  The same building as the previous photo just, the sunny side instead.  I thought this was a cool "artsy" photo with the angles but the railing and the building corner did not quite line up. A red sandstone church. Squiggly Bridge (the official name) over the river Clyde in Glasgow. Suspension bridge over the river Clyde. I feel like these would be cool corner apartments with lots of light. Classic Scottish scene with a pub on the main floor and flats above. Great city scape of row houses and then a church. The cars ruin it for me though. Kelvingrove Art Gallery The river Kevin with the University of Glasgow in the background.
