planned to dry out the tent while we did some laundry, but as we were
away for only a few minutes, our tent got drenched. Our clothes were
also pretty wet due to British laundry(not that we had great hopes).
So we stuffed the car with all our wet clothes layed out to dry along
seats and trunk and went to explore glagow.
So, as has tended to happen to us on this trip so far, we keep
stumbling into cool stuff. In Glasgow, we parked the car, got out and
as we walked toward Royal Exchange Square, we heard a piper down the
street. Beckoning us, we happed upon the Glasgow International Piping
Festival. Heard a few pipe and drum bands perform in the square, and
sat with piping hot bowl on haggis, neeps and tatties! In the
Highland style, with a wee dram splashed across the haggis. Excellent.
After wandering through Glasgow we headed up north toward invarray and
took in inveray castle. Unfortunatly our tent was still soaked through
by seven so we pondered alternative accomodations and found a wee b&b
north of invaray In a tiny place called Dalmally. The lady of the tiny
house, Marie, was as typicaly Scottish as they get and was a wonderful
host who also helped us hang our wet tent on her laundry line.
Tomorrow: Oban distillary
