    I'm taking the new wheels out for a fairly hefty spin whilst the mrs is back home in Ireland so I'm pointing north and going to Scotland.

    Not really interested in the cities since it's mostly a nice drive I'm after. Any thoughts about places to go?

    If you're in that area Stirling Castle is worth a look?

    Excellent shout that I’m actually staying in Falkirk tonight. I’ll do that and go look at the bridge and drive over the other one. And pop by the big canal boat wheel too.

    A quick walk up the hill to Wallace's monument is also decent, not worth paying to go up it I'd say.

    Man the Falkirk Wheel is super super cool. Nice Scottish breakfast there as well.

    Ended up driving from Falkirk to Oban and then back down here to Bolton. Incredible drive towards Oban and *what a car*. Time for an eight hour detail tomorrow!
