Today our road trip took us to Nith River at Dumfries. It was really pretty and reminded me of Bath. From there we drove to Lockerbie. We then drove north to Falkirk and the Falkirk Wheel. While there we did a boat ride so that we could experience the wheel for ourselves. It lifts the gondola that holds the boat up into the the air and then it enters a canal. From there it passes though Blackfort tunnel and then into a holding area before the boat would then enter some other locks to reach the Union Canal. The old Roman wall, made of earth is close by.
From Falkirk we drove to Stirling and up to Stirling Castle. It is a Bank holiday here so it was really busy at the castle. The views of Stirling are sensational and again we lucked it with a bright sunny day.
Leaving Stirling we drove north to Dunblane which is a really pretty town and has a huge cathedral in the centre of the town. Tonight we are staying in Doune in a hotel.
