Cromlix House Hotel Stirling

The next destination on our trip was to Scotland. Now, this is a place I have had on my list to see for a long time. The chance to finally experience it and see it in its full glory was awesome! We landed pretty much on top of water and were able to see the water the entire train ride into Glasgow. <br><br>When we arrived at the train station in Glasgow, the group got separated and we decided to wait for them and get a coffee ...

... checked back at airport but no comment made-told checke I'd filled and I believe he turned ignition on.I unfortunately did'nt keep receipt for fuel-payed cash.I mention this to warn other hirers.! I feel I've been scammed.Tend to use Avis because off AA discount-look at others in future ...

... stopped at a vet clinic (yes a vet clinic) and asked how to get to the road we needed to get to. The vet couldnt stop laughing at the fact that we sincerely thought we were in Glasgow. Oh no, we were actually in RENFREW!! A comparing factor would be St. Thomas to Toronto. So now that we are at our hostel (yes our hostel, no breakfast cooked for us tomorrow), we are deciding to maybe stayin Glasgow another night because we havent got the feel for ...

... no rain) so why not? Linlithgow Palace was the birthplace of James V and Mary Queen of Scots, and although its technically "ruined", all four walls are still standing, and only ...

... nature as well, as most staircases were made of stone and wood was so much more expensive. The lavishness continued to get greater as we entered other rooms. Most rooms contained a place for the Lord to set, usually somewhere comfortable, and the guests to set, usually someplace uncomfortable, such as the wooden chairs.<br><br>Once we finished touring the townhouse, we headed up through the graveyard and to the ...

Hello!<br><br>I thought I should test out this site before I head off into the unknown, well actually only London to begin with!<br><br>However, my adventure begins properly on Thursday when I embark on an 11 hour flight to San Francisco. <br><br>As for now I'm pretty much packed, although having drank two glasses of celebratory Cava (despite swearing off alcohol forever after my leaving do on ...

... can name him?? <br>Anyway, we had to stumble our way over to The William Wallace Monument (hence my title). I was super excited about it, I am a big Wallce fan. However, I was in for a rude awakening. After we paid our entrance fee we started up the "pathway." It wasn't so much a pathway as straight up! It went up and up and up forever! When we finally reached the top, we were greeted with a beautiful view of the monument and the surrounding area. We walked ...

Time flies when you're having fun in another country, and you rarely realize where the time has gone. Except when you're in class. I've had quite the fight this semester at times just to make myself focus on my studies, probably cause I'm in a new place trying to just enjoy everything. But I have, in fact, kept up with the studies and now have the end of them in sight. Just one more paper to write for ...

WOAH, what a week! I'm not sure that everything this week was good, not sure that everything this week is worth mentioning, but I'll start off with one key piece of business. My friend and flatmate, Allie Tubbesing, who is studying here through Arcadia like me, is in danger of having to leave. She broke her tailbone several weeks before we left, which developed into cists. The pain was managable before, but recently it's ...

Stirling is one of my favorite cities in Scotland. On arrival, I realized just what I had gone to Scotland for. It has a relaxing tone and I could feel the history right away.<br><br>After finding the B&amp;B I would stay in that night, the day was spent exploring all the city had to offer. I had issues with my video camera, so I dropped it off at a shop to get it fixed. Around that time, I was able to witness the August 11, 1999 total ...
