Ok.. so this pic isnt of a real Scottish lad.. but he plays the music and dresses the part.. and looks like he coulda been in Braveheart. (You have to bear with me on the Scotland pics cos I dumbly delete my first 200 pics.. ARGH!) Today, the 30th of June, we woke up and went to breakie at the Southern Cross Cafe on Cockburn street. Verra verra good breakie with a verra verra sweet waitress of whom we gave our email addys to. Her name was Charlotte and she was just a doll.
I had the vegetarian egg breakie which came with vegetarian haggis .... which btw is much much more palatable than the regular haggis which contains any and all parts of the sheep and or lamb. At breakie, we rang up Tim on my mobile phone and arranged to meet up with him at around half twelve. So after breakie we cruised on down to Waverly Station (Edinburgh's main railway station) and hopped onto a train to Stirling which is about 1 hour from Edi. We were met in Stirling by Tim and 7 yr old Joanna... who is just a doll. Had lunch at Tim's and chatted for a few hours, whilst Joanna entertained us in between her painting. The rain clouds cleared and so we all went for a walk and Tim gave us the grand tour of Stirling. Did actually get to get a glance of the Wallace Monument from the top of a hill where we trekked to (there was a park at the top and Joanna insisted on visiting the park). Lil Joanna flew up the side of the hill as we adults huffed and puffed up the stairs.) We took pics at the top, of course mine were in cluded in the ones deleted, but Mum got a few. We walked on down and around back into Stirling and back to the train station. ..... and back to Edinburgh. On this train ride, i took the plunge and bought a bottle of Irn Bru (the drink that DI Rebus sooooo loves when hungover... oh man. god awful cougar piss!) It tastes like someone dropped several ha' pennies into the bottle and let them sit for a month. Blech.
