Highland Cattle

One Saturday Josh and I flew to Glasgow and met up with Marama and Shane at 10am. Shane and Marz drove up, but Shane put us on his car insurance so we could all do a bit of driving as we where covering a large section of the Highlands this weekend.
We started the day off by looking around Glasgow, it was quite a bit colder than London and quite windy. We had a look around and enjoyed afternoon tea in Willow Tea Rooms – Tea Rooms created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904. Everything from the chairs to the cutlery was his design. We where staying in Callender so I drove us out of the city. Callender is a little town in the Trossachs ( where the lowlands meet the highlands). The Trossachs have inspired many writers including Sir Walter Scott who made the area the setting for several of his novels. It was also the home of Sclotland’s folk hero Rob Roy. We where staying in a little B & B – really nice. We where all feeling quite tired so for fear of going to sleep in we sat down we headed out into the town at about 6.30pm. I was really hungry so we had dinner at about 7pm in a local pub – who as luck would have it started Karioke at 9pm which resulted in Josh and Shane singing away ‘I want to break free’ by Queen (not a very good rendition if you ask me and Marz). I picked there next song ‘500 Miles’ by the Proclaimers and they did a much better job. We got left just after mid night with the boys having possible a few whiskeys too many!
