After returning our rental car (yay!) and flying away from Ireland, we spent a week bumping around Glasgow. We thought it was really cool. It may be a little rough around the edges; it has some hard times in it’s recent history. But we never felt unsafe and found the people dead friendly (as they’d say). Plus, there’s lots of green space, free museums, a wee but useful public transportation system, and public art.
It is also close to beautiful Loch Lomond where we spent a scenic (and wet) day hiking around hills and lakes and sheltering from lightning in a quaint village inn.
Plus it’s a big enough town that we could fulfill the girls’ hearts’ desire with a trampoline park!
Next we pick up another car (Bill is accomplished at left-hand driving now) and head to the Highlands.

Looks like a few misty moisty mornings were enjoyed and I like that the trampoline park provides such a large watchful eye.
