Pandas, penguins and pouring rain
Today it was as wet as can be, raining hard through the night and not letting up in the morning either.
Headed for the zoo arriving just gone nine am, headed straight up for audience with the pandas, getting wet in the process, as it is still raining, but i guess this is Scotland.

Via the old stomping ground
... mammoth memorial up the top of a big hill. I confess that I didn't actually go to the memorial but was told that the views were spectacular and even though the walk up the steps nearly killed them, they swear it was worth it.
