We are off up there next month  for a few days  and will be staying in Glasgow. we plan to visit L/Lomond and Edinburgh but I was wandering if there was oher places that we should visit aswell. Seems silly to drive all that way and not have every day sorted in what we are going to do that day.

             

If you have even the slightest interest in technology, but even if you don't ... the Falkirk Wheel is an absolute must ... the whole reason for it, the two canals, everything is just amazing .. :)

You don't need to go as far as the Land of Jocks in Frocks for canals ...... the Anderton Boat lift isn't far from me & you'd be passing on your way north  ;) ;) ;)

Cheers Andy.... On the way back we are planing to stop  at the Mill something that is    next to the Lancaster Canal. We plan to use that as our base, so we can revisit the lakes  and few new attractions.... so this could be a  " just popping out for a while " moment    ;) ;D ;D

I spent years not far from Edinburgh and had never even heard of St Mary King's Close, we normally crawled along Rose St  ::) (virtually no pubs left now I believe  :() however my daughter went a couple of years ago with her boyfriend and thought it was fantastic. http://www.realmarykingsclose.com/
Don't forget about the gun at 1 o'clock!  ;D ;D ;D
